I am only hearing parts of my mothers condition she is suffering from stave iv gallbladder cancer that has spread to her liver. she is in the h0spital now they have just placed a stint in her bile ducts and most of her liver is covered with the cancer. she is not producing urine but they keep giving her bags and bags of fluid. what can this mean? And in your opinion should i be on a flight to Seattle to be with her asap?
I am afraid to say this, but your mother is in a very serious condition from what I gather. She has stage 4 gall bladder cancer which as it is a very poor prognosis and a survival ranging from 3-6 months. On top of that she is in kidney failure (no urine) probably as a result of her jaundice (for which she has been scented). This is an acute complication and can be life-threatening unless quickly corrected. Even if she comes out of this crisis, she doesn't have long to live.
