Does Thymic Cancer Usually Spread To The Stomach Or Liver?

My mother has thymic cancer that has metastasized to her left humerous. She is not currently in chemotherapy or radiation treatments. She is having some sharp pain in her upper right back that spreads to her upper right abdomen. She is vomiting, and it appears as coffee grounds. She has foamy foul smelling stools. She had her gallbladder removed a few years ago. Could the cancer have spread to her stomach? Liver? Could she just have an infection?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has thymic cancer and metastasis in humorous. She has blood in vomiting and stool. She may have metastatic carcinoma in gastrointestinal tract or some other cause. She should go for ultrasound abdomen and if needed go for gi endoscopy. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
