Suggest Treatment For Malignant Fibrosis

Hello, my name is Maya. My mother 59 years old has been affected by malignant retroperitoneal fibrosis and has lost a kidney in the process. Her ureters are completely constricted now by fibrosis and she has a percutaneous nephrostomy tube on her right kidney. We just found out that the fibrosis is malignant. Drs are not recommending chemotherapy because of her kidney problem. We are not sure what the future holds for her.... she is getting treated in Chennai, India

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has retroperitoneal malignant fibrosis.
Treatment of choice is chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But if her kidney function is not proper then she should not take it. First she should be prepared for chemotherapy then treatment should be given accordingly. Consult your doctor and 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.
