you. Either myself or my mom's best friend go with her. They tend to
blank out when they hear bad news. She does not want to come in to Seattle
for her treatments, but I have no reason to believe her Everett, WA based Dr's
do not know their business. It is so hard when you don't know all of the
questions to ask or the options to ask about.

cancer and my mother
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
