Problems with Cancer
My question is a very important question. My mother of 40+ years has encountered cancer for the second time in her life. She first developed breast cancer when I was too young to remember. It was removed surgically and she was administered with chemotherapy. Now in her very weaken state, she is suffering from ovarian cancer which has now metastasized to her abdomen. She has cried of a short stabbing pain that constantly presses on her intestines and stomach area. When she brought this up to her physicians, they simply gave her more chemotherapy thinking that some of the cancer was not properly removed during the surgery.
However, in a recent examination they discovered that the pains she had been describing were due to both the large and the small intestines melting into a globular organ. The way it was described,
“It was like a ball of intestines super glued together. A layer of intestines, and another layer of super glue…they could not remove the tension”.
I’m suspecting that perhaps it was not the development of cancer that may have caused this; rather, I believe it was an excess administration of chemotherapy. I’m not judging anyone of what could be later described as a “bad form of therapy”, but I’m simply begging to ask a question. Is it possible to provide my mother with a complete transplant of both the large and small intestines? Could there perhaps be an option of receiving maybe an animal transplant? Anything at this point is worth trying! We have already accepted the fact that maybe she cannot be helped and might possibly pass-away shortly within the next couple of months. We only want to get rid of what’s becoming chronic torture for my mother. We just want the pain to go away. I need a surgeon who can give me answers. She is about 5’2, a Hispanic woman who has both lost a great deal of weight and hope. Can you help me?
Sincerely,
Roberto C. Castillo

I see from your profile that you live in Texas. Would it be possible to take her to MD Anderson in Houston? They are one of the best places to go for ovarian cancer.
Did you try posting your question in the medical forum? You may get a better response. Please accept my condolences, your mom should not suffer this way.
