Brief Answer:
More details are needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Unfortunately the prognosis may not be good as the cancer is already involved multiple sites.
What is the primary site of the tumor? Is it the GI or liver? Did she develop jaundice rapidly or over a period of time?
Have you done an ultrasound or other scan after the development of the jaundice?
If the jaundice is due to blockage of bile duct, we can consider for stenting.
