Hi everyone 
So my mom was diagnosed with mucus pass in the ovaries during 1st week of july 2p15
Took her to the hospital, HUKM/UKM at selangor
and clean the stomach from the mucus pass and removed the "exploded" ovary(total of 2 surgeries)
Rested in the hospital for 1 week
And was sent home to rest for 3 week while waiting for the report on the medical research of the ovray to detect any cancer
Good news is that there's none
Bad new.....
After 3 week, near the 1st week of August
My mom felt a pain in the stomach
And she drive to the hospital @ Pantai for check up
And my dad got a call from her asking him to visit her
So he bring me and my sibling to visit her to know what happened
And my mom was looking dreadful, face green, weak body
My aunts visited
And the doctor said she need to undergo surgery ASAP
My aunt asked why(i wss at home while they stayed back)
The doctor does not gave a solid reason
And while my mom was resting
One of the nurses was talking about packages promotion on surgeries (WTF man? Patient ady sakit kuat kuat lagi bagi promo?l
My aunt just scolded her and hurriedly sent my mom back to ukm
And ukm checked and they feared that it might be cancer and started surgeries(3rd surgeries)
And is was cancer, Colon cancer / bowel cancer (sorry got mixed up, gonna reread the report when i get my hand on it)
The doctor removed the entire big intestine and make a hole on her stomach and put the small intestine as a new excretion system with a donut bag(a bag with a hole that shaped like a donut for the small intestine to excrete)
And after a month, my mom lost 30kg in a span of 2 month
But she been eating healthy(fish, rice, white noodles, vege, acidic fruit[lemon & orange from what i saw])
and we received the report
And the doctor suggested doing chemotherapy
But with my mom condition of losing body fats, 4 pint of blood lost during the surgeries, and she has a bad case of depression/lack of moods
I honestly don't think she should take chemotherapy
But i don't know what else to do to help her
Anyone know what else to do beside doing chemotherapy?
I heard the sideeffect is terrible and dangerous
Anyone has these kind of experience?
I feel really insecure and helpless and worried about my mom mental well being.
Sorry for the long posts
Just thought it best to write out everything incase of specific information needed :sweats:
With treatment, Stage 3 got approximately about 40-80% survival rate depending on the sub stage. Ask your doctor about the exact staging and the expected 5 year survival rate for your mom before making any decision. Anyone can have colorectal cancer regardless of whether you are "healthy" or not. The key to successful cancer treatment is always early detection. Anyone over the age of 50(men especially) should go for annual colonoscopy to detect precancerous or cancerous lesions.So my mom was diagnosed with mucus pass in the ovaries during 1st week of july 2p15

tldr;
Without chemo, confirm die, just a matter of when. Confirm suffer from cancer complications.(not only related to bowel, cancer can spread to other organs and cause other problems as well)
With chemo, might survive(ask the exact percentages from her doctor), might die, confirm suffer from side effects of chemo.
Consider these before making decision. And let your mother choose, she is the one that needs to choose whether she wants to fight or not.
edit: Regarding the earlier posts about metformin, bring it up to her doctor, metformin helps in prevention and also helps in therapy, but no conclusive evidence yet. Metformin has side effects too so don't simply give. Don't have negative perception about "western" medicine. There is no such thing as "western" or other kinds of medicine, there is only evidence based medicine. All treatments that the doctors suggest you mom is backed by the cumulative years of research by researchers all over the world.
