I'm so sorry to hear about what you and your aunt are going through. The one thing that you can never, ever do is give up hope. As long as your aunt is alive, there is hope. Doctors are not all-knowing, I've seen many many cases where people were given a few months or a year to live, and 10 years down the road they're still alive and strong. The best thing that you can do is not to dwell on the worst possible outcome, but focus on the time that you have with your aunt now. Don't be afraid to cry or feel scared or even angry, those are all normal feelings. It is okay to cry all day if that is what you feel. You might also want to talk to your parents or even your aunt about how you feel. Best of luck to you.

I want you to call the North Cental Ms Cancer Center at 888-626-7727. It is run by dr. Arnold Smith, he is the first doctor years ago to say women did not have to have a mastectomy. He has saved many of all kinds of cancer. Pease call them and tell them your aunt's story and they may still be able to help. His website is cancernet.com

I lost my sister several years ago she had had breast radiation, insted of chemo and then she developed leukimai( msp). i have a friend that was given three months to live and he only took 3 of 11 chemos and said the heck with it. Anyway he started taking this stuff called resveratrol and that was two years ago. turns out the Japanese and Chinese have been doing research and also M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Texas. If you google "resveratrol preclinical and clinical studies" you should be abole to pull up their 58 pages report tht talks about how the stuff can make the cancer cells apoptosis and also tell the killer cells to recognize the cancer cells. Anyway I hope Dr. Smith can help, he has helped folks that only had a 10% chance and maybe able to help her.

i guess you have brightened her day with the wig and helping her and I feel theywant the people around them to just love and act normal. Because they know you love them. God Bless e-mail me if I can help and Dr. Smilh is one of the best.

Sorry to hear your news. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you need the facts, not to be fluffed around. There is absolutely no cure for your aunt at this point treatment will only prolong the inevitable and she will have to decide where she wants the side effects or to enjoy wat time she has left. I have never heard of anybody surviving once it is in the liver. I no you need to have hope but at some point you need to see reality and face what is in front of you with no denial. I know i sound harsh but i have lived it and no only too well. My Mum (who is 60) was diagnosed in May this year with kidney cancer. It was an awful shock as she was so healthy and happy. When it was diagnosed it had already spread to the liver and lung. She past away sept 7. Your aunty's cancer has already spread to two parts of her body, without treatment it will continue to spread and form in other various parts of her body. In my Mums case the tumours became so big they protruded from her body. it travelled up her neck into her brain etc. It was the most awful thing to see your loved one slip away. I wish your family all the best. xx

I am very sorry to hear about your aunt...both my Mom and DAD died of cancer....Chemo and radiation are about the only treatments now but hopefully new treatment or even a cure are just around the corner !!! Be strong for your aunt because she is going to need you.....once someone with cancer no longer feels like there is any hope they seem like they quit fighting and give up and the disease engulfs them...Good Luck and prayers are with you and your Aunt...

hey, cancer can be really hard, my mom has it and no one thinks she is going to make it. But you have to have hope. The only way she will is if you tell yourself she will, and if she tells herself she will. Don't let the way she feels bring you dow. Be greatful that you are healthy. Think to yourself that everything wil be alright. Chemo can do crazy things to people, just because she is not feeling well when she is on chemo doesn't say anything, if your or i were on chemo right now, we'd be feeling pretty sucky to even when we don't have cancer. Just help her to be happy, right now in our world, that is the best cure, is to be happy

I feel Sorry for you, I heard a story where a girl lost ALL OF her hair, but then got it back. I think if you think your aunty is gonna win the battle with cancer you have to believe it not just say it.

I know of some survivers of cancer and I know of a few that didnt make it.. but if she is so strong and has a positive attitude and keeps fighting then I suggest you hold it in and help her fight for her life... good luck and thank you for your support..

so sorry, went thru that with my mom, she refused chemo, she had some radiation, but they burned her so bad, she refused to go back. my mom had colon cancer, actually she was a bad alcoholic, after the surgery, she continued to drink, like a fish, she didn't talk about it to us at all, she lasted about one year after the operation, she had to wear a bag, which was hard for her, it was awful, when her final day came, we made her comfortable, put on her favorite music, she died very peacefully, with no pain, thanks to the visiting nurse's association, I will be always grateful to that organization, they are truly angels!!!!!!!!!
