Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Cancer in third stage can have a better prognosis for your mother if they have given her chemotherapy on earlier occasion. Please take her to a tertiary cancer institute like Kidwai memorial institute of oncology in the government or Bangalore institute of oncology in the private sector. Please take her old slides for review and also the CT scan report because this will decide the treatment.
In third stage cancer, patients might survive for 3 to 5 years or even more if treatment is started early so that the progress of cancer can be controlled. Please give her adequate nutrition and also give her support to fight the disease. She might require pain relief. Please do not worry.
