My mother-in-law is 65 years old. She had Stage IV breast cancer in 1991 that spread to the bone three years ago and the liver last fall. Her liver cancer didn't respond to chemotherapy. She recently broke her leg and her esophagus was injured during surgery. She developed a severe infection and almost died. She is now recovering from two more surgeries to repair the esophagus. The liver cancer most likely is continuing to grow, but she wants to try a new chemotherapy. Do you think this is possible in her weakened state. Also, she developed a blood clot under her right arm after surgery and is taking Coumadin. Her left side is the primary breast cancer site that had some affected lymph nodes.
