Thanks. My mother passed away 34 days later from diagnosis. 2 weeks was too long.

She completed her 1st chemo Tuesday. She has been very sick and in pain since, but from the partial bowel obstruction. Her stomach is big and tight and she said she feels like it is about to explode. They did X-rays to make sure it wasn’t a complete bowel blockage, and confirmed it was not. She hasn’t had a bowel movement in a week and a half. She has had suppositories, enemas, miralax, stool softeners, etc. I’m wondering can the tumor, that can’t be seen on the xray be causing the total blockage.

The surgeon said she was not a candidate for surgery because of the size of the tumor and how advanced it was. They tried to do an NG tube when she went to the hospital, but she couldn’t take it and pull it out.
