Hello there 6 years ago my mam was diagnoised with bowl cancer (a very rare tyre) she underwent surgery, then 2 years ago it came back and she underwent surgery again. The cancer has effected her lungs, liver, and has spread to her bones. She went into hospital a couple of days ago with exteme pain in her back, her yummy was swollen and the doctors are trying to get this down.There is not anything that can be done- in ways of surgery, medcation etc etc. I am wondering what her life expectancy would be
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She had bowel cancer, and she has gone through surgery twice. Now she has metastatic cancers in lung, liver and bone. It is stage 4 cancer. Surgery is not possible at this stage. Only treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy according to type of cancer. But it can not cure the disease. Her back pain may be due to metastatic cancer. Morphine based painkiller is useful in terminal stage cancer pain.Despite all treatment prognosis is poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is the fact. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
