In response to "its sad. I'm not a doctor - but can they take out the tumor/cancer and the spleen? giving her room in there? -- nm" by Epiphany

no, she can't handle surgery.

she already had severe surgery when the found the ovarian cancer.

and because of the chemo, she has super low white blood cells (which is why she isn't currently ON chemo, it was too hard on her body.) surgery would just have too great a risk of infection.

radiation is sort of the only thing they can do to shrink THAT particular tumour.

when they did a scan last summer (like, 5 months ago), they found 30 new lesions in the stomach area, and now these.
