I want to thank everyone for the love and support that i have received at this web site since my mom was diagnosed with stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma. The dementia is setting in and she is down to 95lbs. She sleeps most of the day and I can hardly get her to eat. She is currentl in hospice at home and doesn't want chemo. I have to put icy hot on her for the pain along with her pain meds. Her arms are extremley skinny and fluid is building up in her abdomen because the cancer metastisized to liver. She is approaching 18 months of a two year prognosis. My question is what should I expect from here on in and for how much longer. I don't want to see my mother die, but I'd rather see her resting in peace than to suffer a slow death.
