Oncologist,  's  Response
She needs a complete assessment and a medical examination to know her actual condition, however the yellow color in her eyes is called jaundice and the white color of her stools and abdominal pain is secondary to the liver not working or the bile ducts being obstructed by tumor. Sometime palliative derivation of the biliar ducts is done to help with this symptoms, however it is an invasive procedure and several conditions must be met (confirmation of biliary obstruction, stable patient, coagulation times must be normal).
