My 74 year old aunt was diagnosed with this cancer this past September. Surgery is not an option and her doctors do not feel that she should put herself through any treatment. She has been given 3 to 6 months to live. I am her caregiver along with her husband. I would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with this cancer. I really need some emotional support. My aunt is like a mother to me and I am really struggling with her diagnosis. She had an ileostomy done over 30 years ago and they feel this is why she was prone to this cancer. Other than that surgery, she has been healthy. This came on suddenly and the doctors thought that she had gallstones. By the time they finished all the testing she was already a stage IV. Please give me some advice.
Sincerely,
Dawn
