The Internist who first diagnosed her said 2 - 4 months. She has had 2nd and 3rd opinions. She tried chemo, but 5FU was as bad as it sounds. Its been less than one and a half months, today they used the word hospice. So Ill be going up to see her next week, for what probably will be her last birthday. She has no appetite, and doesnt like the taste of wine anymore. Cant think of a thing to give her, but wish it were more time. She lived such a clean life, I dont think she even drank a glass of wine until she was 50. As a breast cancer survivor, youd think Id have a clue, but all I can think to do is just be there. If anyone has experience with this cancer and knows what might work for appetite or even liquids she might enjoy, please comment.
