Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Unfortunately the cancer spread to distant sites and surgery is not possible now. In advanced diseases surgery has got limited role. She can continue palliative chemo and radiotherapy. Nutrition is very important and if she is not taking food intravenous supplements may be required. Consult your gynecologist and he will explain you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
