3 mths ago diagnosed with IBS (irrtatebal bowel syndrome) CT scan on 6th May revealed ovarian cancer, metasized to liver, omentum and acites in uterus. Doctors influence she has 6mths without surgery and chemo. The misgivings is :if surgery is done, it might spread fast and chemo is a big NO due to her age. Tumour marker reveals CA125 abt 235. ( unadulterated high). Pls advise and is there any alternative treatment? She's my mum and I love her so much!

Answers:    The survival rate for Stage 4 ovarian cancer is not pious under the best of circumstances. You do not want to subject your mother to all kind of painful, uncomfortable treatments at her age. As unyielding as it will be to lose her, you would not want to remember that you urged her to undertake experimental or alternative treatments that were unsuccessful and did not add to the quality of her life.

Instead, focus on making this a wonderful, close, passive time for the two of you. You are fortunate in that you have several months within which to prepare yourself for what will happen. Give her all your love and support during this time, and do everything you can to put together her comfortable and peaceful.

It also might help you to speak to a Hospice nurse. They are wonderful at counseling the families of patients who are entering the last stage of their duration.

Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry. I lost my mom to the same cancer.

CA125 reliability can vary. "normal" would be lower than 35, my mom's got up past 1400. She be also diagnosed at Stage IV, but survived over 5 years. She was in her untimely 60's when diagnosed, had 2 surgeries, and was on more than 10 different chemo regimens. She fought unyielding but it was tough on her. I don't know many ethnic group that would have gone through that. I know people who give up after 2 regimens.

I just answered another question where on earth somebody had read an article about how elderly patients are commonly not offered chemo under the assumption that it will be too hard on them. If your mother's overall condition is strong, chemo may still be an prospect. Definitely get another opinion. I don't want to downplay the effects of chemo, but some ancestors are more afraid of it than they need to be.

Obviously, the choice is up to your Mom, and you will need to be strong and support her. This is portion of our journey, and it will be a spiritual time for you both. Stay strong.
