hello dear. I appreciate your concern for your friend. It seems she is in advanced stage of her disease and is bleeding from cancer. Palliative surgery on stomach can be done to stop the bleeding and once the bleeding stops further treatment can be planned after stabilisation. Til that she needs vigorous nutritional support. Hopes that solves your question. Regards
