Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here your mother having non Hodgkins lymphoma stage four, hence prognosis is very poor
The only thing that can be done in late stage is chemotherapy if needed and Symptomatic pain management
The patient kept under regular follow up...
No further active management is needed
Five year survival here very poor as cancer is in stage four
Consult oncosurgeon for examination and further discussion
Take care
