6th chemotherapy was done on 14/08/08

My mother has completed her 6th chemotherapy treatment on 14/08/08. This time was not as smooth as previous treatments. She has been hospitalized since 11/08/08. She felt not so comfortable at that time - especially in her stomach and throat. Consequently, she approached her doctor and asked him whether it could be because of her tumor spreading out. Doctor denied the possibility of cancer spreading to her stomach; however, he said there was a possibility of cancer spreading to her throat. She then asked whether they could operate on it during its early stage. The doctor shook his head and said she's too weak to have any form of operation. Then she inquired into the possibility of having radiation treatment again. But the doctor shattered this hope by saying it was not possible to have radiation treatment too often. So she was desperate and asked how she could know how much time she would have left? The doctor kept silent. It was a huge blow to her. She could not take it and for the whole day she could neither eat nor sleep. Her chemo was scheduled on 13/08/08, was postponed to 14/08/08. Another reason for this postponing was her white blood cell level (3200) was still below the required level. After the chemo, she felt miserable for quite number of days until now. Today she said she felt much better and regained her confidence after this round of CT scanning requested by her earlier on. The result says there's no sign of spreading to her stomach and throat. Guess doctors must be very careful about what they say, because it might affect the mood of patients severely.
Thank God she made it this time as well.
