Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
But stage 4 endocervical cancer is incurabe. It is very notorious for local recurrence and distal metastases.
So after debulking hysterectomy, if local recurrence is there, then brachytherapy is needed. It is having small pellets of radioactive matrial. Which can be put locally. So desired site can be targeted with out harm to other tissue.
To prevent distal spread chemotherapy is needed.
She can also have other palliative treatment like nutritional support in the form of multivitamins and protien powder, Painkiller drugs for subsiding cancer pain.
