Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Kindly give her all the support, as she would need you in this hard time. No sure hat you want us to help you with but it would be wise to get her into a program to stop drinking alcohol. Let hr get seen by an Oncologist and decide prognosis with surgery and/or medication.
