I have been diagnosed with cancer of "unknown origin" I am Stage 4 with paratenial and stomach involvement. I have gone through 3 chemo treatments using Avastin, 5FU and Oxyplatin (sp?). I have a blockage that they cannot really diagnose that does not allow me to have a bowel movement. The chemo helped reduce the ascites in the paratenial area. I have had multi CT scans, a laproscopy, a peg tube for drainage only. The doctors that were treating me said that if it wasn't improving my quality of life we should discontinue the chemo.
I did get a first opinion and moved to a different dr for a second opinion at what is considered one of the premier cancer hospitals. First opinion was about the same recommendations; I think one drug was different.
What do I do now? I really am mot ready to give up.
