Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Firstly, your mom is suffering from diabetes Type II. Ask her doctor to control her sugar levels at the earliest, with anti-diabetic drugs.

The spots are either due to deposits of calcium in the affected organs; old parasitic infections which-following healing- have now been 'buried' in calcium grave; or, may be metastases from a distant underlying/undiagnosed malignancy.

You have not mentioned the opinion given by the radiologist, which would have given me invaluable input.

Stomach pain is apparently due to stomach ulcers or hyperacidity without presence of ulcers.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
