Hosanna asked:


My grandmother, who is 83 years old, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer over two years ago. She has been stage 4 once, back to stage 2, and now back to stage 4. She has extreme abdominal swelling and pain (ascites). She had 6 quarts of fluid taken off her stomach 3 weeks ago, and 8 more quarts taken off two days ago. Her stomach has already begun swelling again. She can not take certain types of chemo because her esosphagus has been damaged. She was supposed to get chemo intraveneously yesterday, but the doctor would not allow it because she did not look well enough. My grandparents are old school and do not question the doctor on anything, so we have no idea how long she may have to live. Does anybody have any experience with a prognosis, life expectancy, quality of life? She is a Christian, she is ready to go to the Lord, but she continues to have procedures (parencentesis) done because her husband is not ready to let her go.

  1. Een paracentesis zal uw granmother niet levende langer maken, zal het haar comfortabeler enkel maken. Zij kan gemakkelijker en slaap beter ademen als de vloeistof wordt verwijderd. De problemen is het zo snel terugkomt aangezien het wordt verwijderd en dan elektrolyt tot onevenwichtigheid leidt en letterlijk haar ontwatert. Belachelijke geluiden, maar zijn waar. De meeste artsen verlaten de reusachtige hoeveelheid daar vloeistof en verwijderen het om haar comfortabel slechts te maken.
    Haar echtgenoot gaat heel wat steun van uw familie sinds haar dagen nodig hebben is genummerd.
    Vrede en de liefde van Goden aan uw oma, opa en familie.
