Hi,
Difficult question to answer. Though there are data regarding your query but every patient not behave alike. Jaundice means metastasis to the liver and it can be said this has grave prognosis. Further chemotherapy will be difficult to continue. Best supportive care may be treatment possibility at this stage. Consult your doctor. This is not curable at this stage.
