General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Unfortunately, it seems like terminal stage and no curative treatment is possible at this stage. You can consider palliative chemo for pain relief. Consult an oncologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
