Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your sister's situation and problem.
She is having metastases in liver and bone.
This is classified as stage 4 cancer, inoperable cancer.
In this stage only palliative treatment in the form of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, nutritional support and pain management are indicated.
Stem cells, thermal therapy etc is useful in stage 1 - 2 cancer. Once cancer is in stage 4, these newer treatment will not help.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these. Start appropriate palliative treatment for her.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.
