Herson
i have already answered another post of yours about seeking another medical opinion.I have to reiterate what Brian has just said,and no matter how hard you may find it to accept ,you do need to listen to him.

Spend a little more of your time concentrating on coming to terms with your Mums prognosis,then spend the rest of it making sure you are there to support and love her through whatevevr time she has left.I do know how you feel,my husband was only 44 and no way was i ready to let him go,but in the end i had no choice.He laid down his wishes and as his wife all i could do was be with him every step of the way no matter how much it tore me apart.

You are doing all these things for you not for your Mum,now just stop and think about the quality of life SHE would like for her time left,and i bet she wouldn't choose it to be spent being dragged all over the country getting more tests and trying to swallow medication that is ultimately unproved.
If the best Cancer Centre in Canada has given its opinion,then you are just doing the "I'll keep on asking until someone says something i want to hear" thing.I understand,everyone here understands,but it doesn't change much really.


If i were you,i would PM Brenfran25 ask her opinion,and listen to what she says.She is living this thing as the patient,and her experience may help more than you think.
