dear Neetu
after reading your query. i am afraid to tell you as she needs only supportive treatment and symptomatic treatment means treatment against symptoms. She needs oral gargles, antibiotics, and analgisics. No treatment against cancer. Our aim at this time is to give her relief from her sufferings to the extent we can able to do it. Be positive and prepare yourself for the coming events.
