Mum is suffering from altzheimers but is recovering from hospital very well, eating well, no pain, i am worride we are not doing enough for her
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. You probably mean metastatic cancer of liver. You described terminal stage of malignant disease and unfortunately in such cases, therapy is mostly palliative. Surgical procedure is useless since all tumors can't be resected. Chemotherapy is also not efficient in most cases so stent in biliary duct was the only possible method to make her feel better. So trust your doctors, these are very serious diseases and I said, treatment is very limited.Wish you good health. Regards
