Can She Able To Live 6 Months With Secondary Liver Cancer?
My mother just found out she has secondary liver cancer, doctor told there wasn't anything they could do that it was bad and gave her 2-6 months to live. They started her on morphine for the pain and hospice will start to come in. People say I need to go now, I live 800 miles away. ( I want to by all means) I guess I'm just scare....will she not talking or knowing me or can she go the whole 6 months and be alert?

Greeting. I can understand your sorrow. First of all she has got secondary liver cancer and the primary is not known. Some secondary liver cancer from breast, lung or ovary or colon usually do better with chemotherapy and patient can live upto 3 to 5 years. So it is important to determine the primary in her case. It is too early to say that she will live only 6 months. Hope you understand
