A young lady with Stage 4 colon cancer has been messaging me for close to a year. For some unknown reason she came to me for advise. I’ve never met her or even know her name. She has three liver tumors that can’t be removed. Her doctor has told her that she is going to die but that she will try to prolong her life. She was taking chemo pills which didn’t shrink her tumors. She had one radiation treatment about a month ago. Her never had a colon resection...but these past two months, she’s been having severe pain in her back and bowels along with constipation. She’s been to the ER twice having CT scans finding no problems, her oncologist told her she doesn’t know the reason for her pain. I suggest that she go to her primary doctor, which she finally did. She was sent to a surgeon who found that her tumor is blocking her bowels and is now schedule for surgery next week. Her doctor told her to start drinking Ensure because she’s weak and weights only 90 lbs. Shes afraid to eat or drink anything with sugar because it causes cancer. Which I tried to explain that she still has cancer and it’s more important to get her weight back on. She is always asking for my opinion on things. I can’t answer her some of her questions because my cancer went to my lung not to the liver. So I don’t know any treatments for liver tumors. I’ve tried to get her to go to another oncologist but she won’t do it. She lives outside of Washington DC so I suggested going to John Hopkins for other possible treatments.
Is there anyone on this forum that has inoperable liver tumors and what treatments if any, you were offered. And if anyone else has any other suggestions it will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
