Her condition is very serious and time is very short. My Mom who has had a peg tube in since January is no longer been getting any food because the peg is blocked off from what the Doctors believe is a tumor in the small Intestine. Mom is also incoherent and very weak. Is there an IV that she can go on that will kill or at least reduce the Cancer and also give her enough food and Nutrition to survive? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My family and I reside out in Huntington, Long Island and my Mom is in a hospice in Melville, LI. Mom has been battling stage 3C Ovarian Cancer for 19 months with reoccurences. I hope to here back.Tom Sleepy123 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT Tom,First of all I just want to say how sorry I am about your mom. My mom is also battling this - Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2006.I know that they don't generally use radiation therapy for Ovarian Cancer, but I have heard of instances when they use it to shrink tumors that are blocking bowels/intestines etc. Have they mentioned this as a possibility? Have you received any second opinions on treatment options? I will hope for the best for both of you.Kristine 2dogsandacat Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 11/8/2007 Sleepy123 wrote:Hi,My Mom cancer has spread all over and she was sent to a Hospice on Tuesday.

I pray for a cure for this horrible disease.  If you can be with her and just tell her how much you love her and speak about all the good memories you had with her.  The last sense to go when someone passes into heaven is their hearing.  Let her know how much she is loved.....I will pray for all of you.
