My mother 90 years old is diagnosed with colon cancer stage 4 1 month ago? Are there drugs to prolong her life? She is lack of sodium and potassium. Are there are tablets she can take to supplement sodium and potassium. She has internal bleeding due to colon cancer. Other than blood transfusion, any other method to stop her internal bleeding?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has colon cancer stage 4.  It is last stage and surgery is not possible.  Treatment of choice is chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. And life expectancy is very low.  We can not stop internal bleeding. Sodium, potassium and iron supplements are required to maintain electrolytes and hemoglobin. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
