Question
My mom was diagnosed last year Feb w/colon cancer in ATL. No surgery was performed (n/option according to her physician). Since she moved here in IL she's told her liver is 3x it's size and at this point she receiving high doses of morhpine. As of March 1st her physician in ATL took her off all medication related to cancer since chemo wasn't working. Is there any other options?
I'm sorry to read about her & your problems! Unfortunately at present there are no other options. If both surgery and chemo therapy are impossible then unfortunately we do not now have any useful tools available. I'm sorry I have nothing better to tell you!
