Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
Swollen legs and pain may be due to compression of lower limbs blood vessels by her colon mass.An abdominal CT scan may help to determine the nature of the mass.Colon masses may be surgically removed. Her Doctors are in the best position to evaluate all the options.Just be calm and trust her Doctors.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Wish you sister a speedy recovery.
