After talking to Dave and a couple of siblings, I have questions. I'm waiting for a call back from Dr. Kleinbaum, hoping to find out:
*Exactly what stage is the cancer? Is it in the liver?
*Would surgery to remove the colon cancer now help ease Mom's pain on down the road? Not curative, but maybe palliative?
*Would taking chemo to shrink the tumor make Mom more comfortable on down the road?
*Are there any stats on life expectancy with chemo? As opposed to the 6-8 mos. without?
*Planning--What to expect as Mom dies from this disease? What kind of care to plan for?
