Treatments for stage 4 liver cancer with unknown primary, suspect lung or colon and has metasized to bone?
My mother has this and they’ve said chemo will not change her prognosis. If she gets the chemo, there is a 4 out of 5 chance it won’t work, if she gets it there is a 1 out of 5 chance it will. It will most likely make her sick while she is on it, and if it does work it will only extend her life about 3 to 8 months if it goes into hybernation, but it will eventually return. her life expectancy is less than 6 months, chemo may only extend it a few months. If she gets radiation to the bones where she is in a lot of pain, she will feel better in a few doses, and with her pain meds she will feel pretty well for a while with almost no side effects, except fatique, but it will not extend life and she could have less than 3 months of survival. She doesn’t really want the chemo, and neither does my Dad, for them quality of life is more important then length, and she doesn’t want people to see her go through the chemo. Does anyone have info on this what would u do? we have second opinion friday

What is the chance of getting a medical waiver fot the Army regarding kidney cancer?
The person is trying to join the Army and speaks Arabic and English. Is the Army desperate enough to grant a kidney-cancer waiver? The person is clean and healthy now.
Thanks a lot.
