Could Swollen Legs And Vomiting Yellow Matter Indicate Symptoms Of Liver Cancer?
Hey.
My mom was diagnosed with liver cancer it has spread to most parts of her body like lungs. The doctors could not do anything but asked us for a home based care.. Now she has swollen legs vomiting yellow stuffs and she can eat anything. Is this the end what is happening? Also can she fly back home from OR tambo to harare?
Regards
Feli.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
She has liver cancer with metastasis,so she is advised for palliative care only.Definitive treatment is not possible in this stage.
Yellow vomiting may be due to metastasis to lung.
Swollen legs may be due to many factors like anemia,cardiovascular compromise etc.
You should consult your doctor.Symptomatic treatment should be given to her.
Hope i have answered your query.
