hi my mum has just had her 6th and final chemo, and her consultant has said for my mum to go and enjoy what time she has left, her ct scan revealed the stomach lining has moderatly reduced this was after the 3rd cycle. my mum is only 43, it is stage 4 and is on 5FX cistiplatin, epirobicin and xeloda tablets. Xeloda is instead of 24hr infusion via a picc/long line, we werent offered this treatment it was only because of this website and some one on xeloda that we questionned the consultant!!
he said they cannot operate but it may have reduced more but they are not offering another scan!! i wondered if there is anyone finshing chemo and were they are going from now? mum has suffered from having chemo but she does eat, manages to get out, and seems a little bit better
i feel like thats it and just to wait for her to deteriotate, can anyone help? research is limited and my mum doesnt seem to want a second opinion. we live in hull, UK
