My 65 year old mother has just been diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer and secondary liver cancer. She is not able to have surgery as it is too far along. My mum is finding it too much to digest and so is not wanting to hear too much but i wondered if anyone could tell me how effective their treatment was, how they coped with side effects and how much precious time we might have left? I am 33 years old and is unbearable to think of my mum not being here, i feel like i am suffocating in misery. However in order to come to terms with it i feel like i need to know what may lie ahead. Good and bad. I am going to move near to her to her to look after her and spend as much time as possible with her but have a nasty cold so have not been able to go see her since her diagnosis. When it rains it pours!!

Thank you in advance x
