My mum has been on Chemotherapy for Colon/ Liver cancer for just over 3 months now. She has it fortnightly and usally is not so bad on it, has energy from steroids etc But for the last few weeks the steroids don’t seem to be working aswell and she has no energy at all, even to walk up the stairs which is completly opposite to usual, the effects are lasting longer and seem to be getting worse. Sometimes she just doesn’t wake up for hours/days…. Anyone know what could help or why this may be? Thanks I really appreciate all yours answers and kind thoughts, I understand that it is ordinary that she would want to rest all the time but I am just struggling to understand why now, she must have been for chemo 8/9 times and felt absolutely fine afterwards, shopping, socialising etc… I just don’t know why all of a sudden it’s just gone so far down hill… Thanks again, and I am going to invest in some vitamins for her tommorow..

What is radiation treatment to a cancer patient after giving up the fight?
Posted by admin on March 27th, 2011
My mom has suffered with several types of cancer over the past 3 years and now it’s severely deteriorating all of her bones. She broke a bone in her back 2 days ago just by picking up her coffee pot. Her oncologist says there’s nothing more that can be done. Keeping her out of pain and comfortable is now top priority. He’s having her get radiation treatments daily for the next 2 weeks. He says it’s for pain relief. Is that true?
