if her clinical condition permits which means if she is in good general condition, she can definitely offered chemotherapy. Dialysis is not done based on creatinine levels alone and nephrologist will decide on that. If chemotherapy is offered the mass in pelvis is likely to regress and her kidney status is also likey to improve further
