Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Uterus cancer with metastasis to stomach indicates very poor prognosis.
2. Along with kidney failure and diabetes, 5 year survival is very less.
3. Surgery is not possible and she cannot tolerate chemo or radiotherapy. Palliative treatment is the only choice to reduce her pains.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
