Last stage cancer recovery scopes, help.

[Nimesh_Joshi]

My mother-in-law is suffering from the last stage of ovarian cancer. Her abdominal is mosltly covered by cancer i. e. colon, pencreas, liver, lymph nodes ets. Doctor's have made a surgey before 1.and a half  years ago. Rightnow, she cant eat, cant speak much, very tired, doesn't like anything, swalling on legs, stomach..  Is  there any hope ? coz, doctors informed us that she is a guest of this earth for 1 or 2 months maximum. Is there any hope, or treatment or preacautions for her servival or better painless ending..?

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through that. I know exactly how you feel. I'm going through the same thing with my mom right now. The final stages are so hard to deal with and I know how hard it is to see someone you love go through all that pain. We called hospice to come in. They make the patients comfortable and give them the medicine they need. I really don't know about the feet and legs being swallon. My mom is the same way. My guess is from the medicine but you have to realize that it is part of the cancer that is causes all this. Your family is in my prayers. Just remember to visit often and talk about anything and everything possible. Treasure each and every moment you have with her. If you need anything or just to talk you could email me at ***@****

I am sorry to hear about your mother in law. Jane is right, you should look into hospice, which is an organization that helps make your final days as comfortable as possible. Please talk to her Dr about finding her some help of this sort.
  I am sorry that we cannot offer you any more hope. Spend all of the time that you can with her. And remember, she probably knows that the end is coming and when it does she will finally be free of all of her pain and discomfort. She will be in a much better place where she will no longer have to fight this beast.
  My sympathies lie with you and your family.

Why don't you ask her doctor about bringing Hospice into her home, they will know exactly how to help her to be comfortable, and deal with any pain she has.

Perhaps you can also explore other palliative care in your area, or once again ask her doctor, or the nurses for suggestions.

I'm sorry you and your family have to suffer through this disease with your mother-in-law.
I wish you peace.

I am sorry to hear about your mother in law.  The doctors should be able to provide her with comfort and keep her pain free.  

The best advise that I can offer, is to have the family spend as much time with her as possible.  Talk about the happy times, and listen to what she wants to speak about.  Let her know that she is loved.

My thoughts are with you and your entire family.
