General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your description it seems that she is having tumor which has spread to multiple sites. At this stage surgery is not possible and we have only palliative treatment left. You can try analgesics like morphine or oxycodone for pain relief. You can also plan for palliative chemotherapy and radiation which will help for pain relief. If she could not swallow food, you can plan for nasogastric tube insertion. Consult an oncologist and he will direct you accordingly.

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