my mom has been on chemo for about a year now...the first chemo had failed and had spread to the lining of her stomach however they put her on a combination of two different chemos at this point and it has put a break on the growth and spreading however her quality of life has decreased dramaticaly mainly because she has lost os much weight she get extremely ill from the chemo. Radiation we are told is not an option because of the affects on the liver It really depends on each indavidual doctors some agree with chemo some don't. However in my moms case it has helped put the breaks on spreading the quality of life is poor.
