Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cancer is a challenging condition to treat. Curability of cancer depends on the stage at which the cancer was first detected and the treatment response. From your query, it is not entirely clear about the stage at detection of the disease but it appears to be in the later stages.

Regarding the metastasis to legs, I am not sure if there is deep vein thrombosis in the legs causing swollen limbs or there is any other condition directly arising from the cancer. ANother fact is the feces in her stomach, it appears that she might be having bowel related conditions due to cancer spread. Considering the above complications, it is difficult to control the disease and effects due to the cancer and she should be given pain relief and her general health should be maintained. Please do not worry.
