Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
she has liver and pancreatic cancer with metastasis in hip.
Irrespective of type it is stage 4 cancer. No surgery will helpful.
Only treatment option is chemotherapy. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. And chemotherapy has its own side effects. There is no great difference between life expectancy with chemotherapy. So plan 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.
