Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having diabetes and nephropathy, surgery for cancer is very risky in your case.
Palliative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, nutritional support and pain management are the option for your cancer.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
