Hi my mom was diagnosed with peritoneal carcinoma on Oct 16 2007
I went home to be with her and just got back cuz I have my husband and kids here in Texas.She was given stage 4 her markers are at 3362.We are so scared for her.She has had a total of 3 drainings in a month with 4 liters out each time.She has been admitted 2 times already in the hospital.My sister is still with her and my dad.She has trouble with hemmoriods so bad she literly sceams using the bathroom.She has so much pain in her stomach that she cries all the time she already had the 1st round of chemo she did ok with it but she has her next 27 Nov.I guess thats when they will check her CA-125 again.She has to go through 2 more after that one with a total of 4 then they will do surgury.Her docs seem to keep painting a rosy picture but its hard seeing her go through this.Prayers are coming from everywhere.I just pray they work. My mom has diabetes high blood pressure and is 68 yrs old.Also her BP keeps dropping real low. but then if she stops the meds it goes up.No win there
How common it it for her to get better with it being this bad.I want to go back and be with her.All anwers are appreciated Please do not hold back.
Thank You
