My mother was recently diagnosed wiith stage 4 liver cancer, but we were also told she had cancer of unknown primary. Her dr. gave her 6-12 months. She wants to fight and has a positive attitude when she isn't overwhelmed with pain. She was supposed to start chemo today and the dr. office did not call for the appointment. I do not know what to do. She refuses to change docs and this is killing us. He did call her in a new /stronger pain medicine since the pain patch she has been using does not eem to work. We are supporting her without smothering her. She also seems to be in denial. The firstscan showed a mass the size of a tennis ball now we are being told that the second scan (i week later) it is the size of a grapefruit. I understand medicine is not an exact science but this seems horrible at best. Please help.
