Hi, dear
Ihave gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your mother is suffering from stomach carcinoma. She has metastasis in the brain. So it is already stage 4 carcinoma. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Prognosis is very poor despite of treatment. Life expectancy is very low. She has not much time. Sorry to say but it is fact.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
