My mother had surgery for stomach cancer a few years back knowing their was some tumors (hard to get to) left and would be treated with chemo. Just had a "honest" chat with her surgeon that the cancer is hardening and growing. He spoke of remedies to make her comfortable while she lives with cancer. I respectfully accepted, but after much thought refuse to let her sit and wait it out. Spoke to mom and she ask to have it removed with another surgery, but dr. said it spread to her abdomen and would be complicated. Just trying to cope for now. Thank you.
