To give a vague background, my Nan died of what we think is the above, and the doctor said was the case and the death certificate says so too.
9 months prior to her death, she was due to have a barium enema to confirm a 'mass' or lump in her abdomen but it was cancelled so cancer never confirmed.
Now, someone is refuting her cause of death, denying cancer was there. They are saying that the symptoms she showed at the end indicate a severe infection, (having looked on the internet apparently ) and that she wouldnt have been able to eat much at the end and if she had - she would brought it back up.
So, I need to know if this is AT ALL likely, and if there are any research papers or whatever online that can back it up.
Please help - this is causing a real upset at the mo.
