I feel like my oncologist is giving up on my mom. She recently had to switch to folfox (4 cycles so far) after her one liver met showed progression after being on folfiri for forever. This folfox is really taking a toll on my mom, she’s only been on folfiri, for over 2 years straight so she’s a strong woman. The dr made a referral to the interventional radiology few months ago (cancelled due to covid). I finally got the appointment back and the oncologist said they won’t be able to do anything. Then why suggest it in the first place?? Just venting. She then gave us the option to go to maintenance chemo or do folfox every 3 weeks instead due to the side effects. She didn’t suggest any other option.
What should I do? I want my mom to have a chemo break but scared the liver met will grow back full force.
I took her to a cancer center 3 years ago for a second opinion when she was first diagnosed. Should I take her back?
