Should Morphine And Radiation Be Continued For Buccal Mucosa Carcinoma And Bone Marrow Cancer?

Hello, My Aunt has been diagnosed with buccal mucosa carcinoma 6 months ago. she got operated and completed couple of sessions of radiation. post which full body MRI scan revealed that the Stage 4 cancer had spread in the bone marrow, brain, vocal chords, spinal chord, liver as well. she was very active during her radiation treatment, however after the MRI a radiation was given in the back since she had major pain in the back. post which she is totally bed ridden and on morphine tablets. she barely gains conciousness for 1-2 minutes 2-3 times a day, other than that she is in sleep all day. Doctors have given up and have mentioned there is not much we can do to cure her. we are also trying to treat her with soursoup juice (annona muricata). What alternative medicine / ayurvedic treatment can be given to cure her or reduce pain and increase healthy life span by improving immunity. i have read about Vaidya NS Narayan Murthy of Karnataka but havent read about successful cases / history regarding such cases. is it ok to give her alternative medicines.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Sorry to say but terminal stage malignancy has no cure. Not even by alternative medicine s.
So better not to follow these things.
Since you are saying that your aunt is barely conscious for only 1-2 minutes and remains unconscious throughout the remaining time, I think her life expectancy is very very low.
May be less than a week.
So better not to give her anything especially alternative medicine s.
I find this answer helpful
