Hello dear. It seems your mother is suffering from cancer of uterus as primary which has spread to brain and lungs. Right now she is in sepsis infection due to low immunity. She requires aggressive management for infection. At this stage chemotherapy can not be given. Chemo can be restarted once she is out of infection. For brain lesions only radiotherapy will help. Discuss with your doctor all these options. hope that solves your query.
