Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the description, it appears that your mother is really sick with severe infection, possibly she is in sepsis, as evidenced by raised blood counts (TLC). The source of infection could be bed sores. In addition, she has deep vein thrombosis and cancer.
As she is not re spending to the usual treatment, it is likely that she may not survive long. However, it is difficult to give a definite opinion regarding treatment and prognosis, until we have all the reports and doctor's notes.
So, I request you to send all the reports and prescriptions including the discharge summaries.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
