My mother is 70yrs old.  She has had breast, colon and just diagnosed with lung cancer. She is diabetic. She has heart problems and kidney problems.  She is suppose to have surgery to have the cancer tumor taken off her lung.  They canceled it because she was anemic and dehydrated.  Now her legs from her knees up to her abdomen is swollen about 3 times their normal size.  All of these doctors do not seem to agree on anything.  No one really seems to know why she keeps swelling up.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your mother has breasted, colon and lung cancer. Moreover, she also has problem with kidney. So her swelling can be due to kidney problem. Surgery should be avoided in these cases. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used, but it is just palliative treatment. It will not cure the disease. Prognosis is very poor, and life expectancy is not good. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
