my 87 year old aunt just found out today she has inoperable liver cancer. She is in icu with an infection also and dr s don t know where infection is coming from. She also has fluid build up around stomach and she is listed in critical condition....we are out of state, should we be headed back home?
Thanks for asking question. According to history given by you liver cancer seems to be metastasized widespread. She also has infection. For controlling infection and monitoring of patient stay at the hospital for few days. She has to given iv antibiotic for controlling infection. In advance stage of liver cancer targeted chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be given. For pain strong analgesic like tramadol may be needed. Embolisation and ablation treatments available that can be individualised and can be tried with advise from doctor. So truly speaking according to your history it seems advance liver cancer and wish you good luck. I hope you will understand my concern.
