Hi, Thanks for writing in. The report of your mother says that there is cancer spread in the region from where the FNAC has been done. This means that there is a primary cancer somewhere which is the main problem. In this situation the doctors have to identify the primary site if not known. Many times primary site is not detected easily, and then complete cancer workup has to be done. Treatment of a secondary with known or unknown primary is usually chemotherapy, radiation and pain relief. This has to be done at a good hospital and I think Guntur might have cancer treatment facilities in many hospitals. The cost varies and it is good if she has health insurance. We cannot give a fixed cost, but it is on the higher side like a few lakhs of rupees. However, there are much cancer treatment concessions provided, and you can utilize facilities for cancer treatment of your mother. After treatment life depends on the disease spread and response. If proper response is there to treatment then patient can live a few years with about some living more than 3 to 5 years.
