We are sorry to hear about your mother; however as Dana has so well
put, there are many new drugs and treatments that affords us all hope on
this journey. Pls. call the NCI @ 1-800-4-cancer, they can send you
a listing of the best treatments centers nearest you. Someone should
go to the doctors with your mother and to treatments and be with your mother
after treatments. This affords a second set of ear's and patient
support. Your friend, Lillian

Melissa,
There will be many people who will guide you as to what institutions
you can
contact for help. I am no doctor, but know that no one can put a time
limit on
life. Being in the liver is not a death sentence, my dad also has some
activity there. There are many noted cases of people who have turned
around .
The one problem with the liver is that it controlls toxins. As you
know to
much is obviously not good for the body. when the liver is diseaed
the patient
will also start to slurr there words. It can take a toll on the body.
Now this
doesn't mean that they cannot respond to chemo, it sometmes takes a
little
longer. My dad is on Gemzar now. He's been on several, we will find
out the
affects of this chemo after one more treatment. And if the news is
not good,
we will pursue another chemo untill we get it right. My prayers are
with you.
If i can help just call out.
Dana
