Today my aunt was diagnosed with stomach cancer- she seems to be taking the news well whilst we are falling apart. She has had the symptoms for 2-3 years now without it being dignosed properly. Now it seems to be in the late stages as it has spread beyond her stomach and the doctor has said that its incurable and inoperable. We are waiting for a few more tests to be done and havnt been given any information about the future. 2 years ago my aunt nursed my uncle who had a brain tumour. Although it was painful for us to watch him deteriorare we were thankful that he seemed to have no knowledge of his illness and suffered no pain until the very last moments. My question is- will my aunt suffer terrible pain and, I know everyone is different, but generally what can we expect. Thank you for your reply.
