What To Do For Stage 4 Lung Cancer, Fever And Swelling In Legs And Feet?

my mother has stage 4 lung cancer, she has a fever of 102 and her legs and feet are swelling badly now. She is not taking any treatment as she has chosen quality of life over quantity. What am I looking at, at this time? Is the fever cause for alarm?

Hi
Thanks for your query.

This fever may be a sign of infection. She needs evaluation by a doctor to assess need for antibiotics. Feet swelling may be due to low protein in blood or clots in veins. This can be treated if diagnosed appropriately.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
