How To Treat Cancer Spread To Different Parts Of Body?

Hi My mother in law (71) has been unwell for many months. She has had a sore back, anaemia, fatigue, extensive weight loss, constipation and lately a couple of falls. Yesterday she was told she has cancer which started in her kidney and has spread to pancreas, spleen, liver and lungs. We live in another country. Do we go now? How long should we wait? She is still at home.
