Hi all,
My mum was recently diagnosed with Bowel cancer which they sucessfully removed, but the discovered some spots on her liver during the op. They have since done a scan and found that her liver is inoperable - there is too much cancer, and they're going to start her on Chemo in the next couple of weeks.
I need some ideas on how bad this actually is - the doctors are fairly non commital and are saying that on average a person will get 2 years with this treatment, but that's just an average figure.
I'm a bit all over the place so I do apologise if this doesn't make any sense, but if anyone has any experiance fo dealing with this - either a doctor of a family member that's been through this I would really love to know what we're about to be going through, for me, and so I can support my mum as best I can.
Thanks
