    Hi! My mom was diagnosed march 2013 with stage IV Colon ca that mets to d liver then in October, it has mets already in d bones. Right now she's getting her radiation on d mandible and right femoral. She's planning to go home in d Philippines to be with her 2 kids but she keeps saying that she wants to come back for d treatment here. I felt so bad seeing her and hearing all those things from my mom- to come back after a month vacation in d Philippines. D oncologist said that if we try d chemo right now, she might get so weak and sicker than what she is now. We've noticed that since she got d mets like almost 1.5 months ago she's deteriorated from using only a cane to using a commode and a wheelchair now. Is there still hope on her? Feel so hopeless sometimes. It's just s faith in God that we r holding on...
