Today we went to one of the beat oncologists there is in Europe, and I beleive that he has acheived this reputation due to all the great work he has acheived through these years. After he heard our version of the story, he said that the best thing to do would be to treat my mom's symptoms. This means to alleviate her pain and help her acheive a better quality of life. I totally agree with that, but to do solely this and sit and wait is just too crazy especially for mediterranean-blooded people like us. We are worriers, we are doers, and we need to be doing something or at least feel like we are doing something to combat this nightmare. Swiss people, may God bless their souls, are way too cold, too rational and too attached to their quality of life.
Anyhow, we walked out agreeing to start on some kind of chemo.
The crazy part is that all the research i make, all the doctors i see, keep on giving me the same useless options. I wonder if there exists somewhere out there, some secret treatement for the privilidged people who are the sons or wives of Saudi kings or are in the US government ....
It just cannot be this bad... anyhow i learned to expect the unexpected
