Hi, it appears to be a malignant change in the intestines. The primary may be in the nearby organs. She must be under the care of gastroenterologist, so regarding treatment she need not be advised.
I advise her to avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods. and also advise her to avoid anxiety of health. Thank you.
