my mom has pancreatic cancer w. mets to the liver diagnosed in sept. 07
so far her tumors have shrunk 2cm they are now 4cm...exciting news... her liver enzymes she tells me are almost normal. does that mean that the tumors maybe shrinking. I dont know any other information except the dr is surprized how the chemo is working. 2 more treatments and she goes for another scan..this second round of chemo is really kicking her butt this time she is in so pain and feeling very nasuaus(sp?)
if the tumors shrink does that mean cancer is gone? I really dont know these answers and my mom wont let me speak to her doctor. shouldnt they also be scanning her whole body other that just the abdominal area so to see if the cancer spread to other areas....she said the twi scans she had so far it was just the abdominal area.
is it possible for the enzymes to be lower and she can still take a turn for the worse...
thank you carol
