Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your histtowards ut your daughter hanging severe pain onlowe left side who has been Diagnosed as cancer esophagus. The pain radiates to the back.
All these things suggest towards left ureteric colic mostly due to a stone which in turn may be due to dehydration caused by cancer esophagus not allowing proper hydration.
I would advice her the following:
Ultrasound and tests of urine, blood and stool should help to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
