Hi, Thanks for writing in. Chemotherapy is given to a patient if they can tolerate the stress during treatment. If her weight is 40 kg then her general health condition is such that chemotherapy might cause more complication. Chemotherapy is done by giving strong medicine which will cause certain reactions in the body that might not be acceptable to your mother. Other than weight it will help to know if your mother has normal blood report and liver function tests. Please give her protein diet and that might help to increase her weight and make her suitable for chemotherapy. You might also discuss the case with her doctor and if radiation therapy is possible to be given in place of chemotherapy. Please do not worry.
