Not been on for a while and only just figuring this site out lol.
So quick recap mum was diagnosed with ampulla cancer feb 2016, day after diagnosis she had the whipple which was successful. Regular 3 month scans and 6 month course of chemo all went well, chemo stopped in Nov 2016 regular scans after that went all good. Feb 2017 regular scan I attended all was fine.. pain and not feeling good end of feb start of march 2017 rushed to hospital and emergency scan, within 4 weeks of all clear scan we was told it was back. She had to get biopsies and more scans following and in may 2017 we was told it was terminal.
prognosis was 6 months left maximum without treatment or possibly a extra 6 months with chemo.
She has had a scan 2 months ago which said it's not rapidly growing as super speed and it's relatively slow, her morphine has been upped twice since then and she's due next scan on 7th sept. If this scan comes back and nothing has changed the hospital will stop the treatment.
Has anybody had experience of this as in the ampulla cancer and terminal? Is she likely to pass expectations on the life expectancy? I've done my research and it's highly likely I can see the change but I'm clinging to hope.
