Brief Answer:
Adjuvant chemotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Your mother is suffering from adenocarcinoma stomach.

She will need chemotherapy after surgery called adjuvant chemotherapy to kill the remaining cancer cells that may have remained behind even after surgery.

Ayurveda treatment is not scientifically proven.

She will need atleast 6 months of chemotherapy post surgery at 21 days interval.

Brief Answer:
CT scan whole abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi


As she is not having hunger I will advise her to take appetite stimulant syrup elixir Neogadine 30 ml half an hour before food twice daily.

For getting proper sleep she can take tablet alprazolam 0.5 mg at night with doctor advice.

For loose motion she can take probiotics or anti motility medication after discussing with your doctor.

She needs to drink plenty of water and boiled vegetables.

After completion of 8 cycles she will have to do a CT scan of whole abdomen.

If it is found to be normal then she has to do follow up after 3 months with a fresh CT scan abdomen.

If you have no more clarifications then please rate the answer and close the thread.
