She has received palliative whole brain radiation therapy treatment at Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata (admitted on23 December - discharge on 09.01.2012)Doctors have advised against further radiation/chemotherapy. She is now at home receiving supportive treatment at home.She is completely bedridden, her vision has deteriorated, have trouble swallowing. She is a diabetic patient patient (her suger level is fluctuating all the time) and high pressure. She sometimes feel extreme cold at night. her scalp was itching for one week and then after treatment her itching has subsided but from last week she has acute itching all over her body (24 hrs.) and ear irritation. She is being given insulin (Human Actrapid 40IU/ml) and other prescribed drugs, they are: telma 40 (for pressure), monotrat 10 mg, eption 100 mg(thrise daily), Decmax 4mg (for itching).
