I'm sorry that your mom is having a tough time. I'm sure it's comforting to have you to look after her.
Have you looked into RFA (RadioFrequencyAblation)?It's a procedure that uses radiowaves to ablate solid tumors (like metastatic breast to the lungs & liver). I don't knowwhat your mothers situation is, but even in the event of a high tumor load/volume, RFA can be used to zap away the bulk of the tumor(s), called Cytoreduction.That way there's less for the chemo to have to do.
I have a lesion in my liver that was discovered after being NED for a year.I've done 4 weeks of chemo & using RFA to zap the last bit of the spot is far more efficient that 4-8 more weeks of chemo! I'm scheduled for my procedure this Friday-out patient procedure.
Sounds strange, but I can't wait!
Please let me know if I can fwd on the link w/info about RFA.
Hope this info is helpful. Keep the fait & Take good care.
