Aunt has bladder cancer?


My Aunt has bladder cancer and has had it for awhile, there's nothing more that the doctors can do for her, hospice was called into her home to help controll the pain she has been having, my mother a former hospice nurse, flew out to be with her sister to help out. they are controlling the pain with heavy meds, they put a cathiter in and the out put is nothing but blood, her vomiting comes and goes. My question is, how long are we looking at before she passes on?

my aunt can't hold anything down because of vomiting, any suggestions?

I am so sorry to hear about your aunt.......I know exactly what
you are going through cause my mother and I went through
the same anxiety when my grandmother had bladder cancer at
the age of 95.

How old is your aunt?

No one can answer your question as to how long your aunt has
only God really knows......but do prepare yourself it can happen
at any time....,.,.or maybe not.......

Speak to a clergy for support.....and try to keep calm so you
don't get sick././. God bless you....

My goodness, I am so sorry to hear this about your aunt. My uncle had this same thing. I hope a nurse or doctor reads your question, and gives you a professional answer, as I certainly am not one. I'm sure everyone is different; However, I am sorry to say he didn't live very long from the beginning of the cancer to the end. Once he was diagnosed with the bladder cancer (the symptoms started with blood in the urine - by then it was too late), and they found a tumor in there. Once they found that tumor, the cancer had already spread to other parts of his body. The whole process was very, very quick (only a few months). My uncle was only in his mid-50's. My thoughts and sympathies are with your aunt, you, and your family. Take care.

There are things you can try. I say look for cesium chloride with rubidium and DMSO, some oxygen drops, ip6 pills, and some aloe vera. And demand that your aunt gets an iv of Vitamin C into her arm. 1 mmol/L or 10 grams per 12 hours. I do believe you have to demand this because they wont just do it for you. Tell them you will pay for what it costs, regardless of outcome. In the mean time you can go to the local flower shop and get a fresh aloe vera plant. Then put it into the blender. Mix it with some ice cream so its not soo bitter. This alone could possibly take care of the cancer. Try it. I mean you are all the way down the road so it wont hurt. It has helped alot of people in my country. (I am from Vietnam by the way). I dont know if you take the skin off. I dont think so though. Just cut out the pricks so that it doesnt get caught in your aunts throat anywhere. Good luck..
