The ct scan reports is not completely clear
The information got from that indicate that the tumor is locally advanced.
Since you have completed chemotherapy, your option now is only chemotherapy.
You can review with full ct reports for further planning

Talk to experienced oncologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Now you have recurrence of cancer. Now we can try palliative chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. For adequate pain relief morphine to be added. If immunotherapy or targeted therapy tried means we will get good response(as per latest evidence). But cost is very high. Discuss with your doctor for better treatment
