UC n cancer risk and hemoglobin deficien
My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2023. She underwent partial colon surgery and received 8 cycles of CAPOX chemotherapy. The following year, due to hemoglobin deficiency, a colonoscopy was done — and stomal ulcer and ulcerative colitis (UC) were detected. She has been under treatment for the past year. But again, her hemoglobin has dropped from 11 to 9.8 and is increasing very slowly.
My questions:
1. Can this type of ulcerative colitis turn into cancer?
2. Can this type of ulcerative colitis cause hemoglobin to fluctuate even during treatment?

I have the following symptoms:
Severe constipation (no motion for 7–8 days sometimes)
Bloating and tightness in stomach after eating
Loss of appetite, weight loss
Bad breath
Chest discomfort, palpitations, weakness
Nausea, occasional dry mouth
Sharp pain during motion
Heartburn and abdominal pain after meals
I recently had CBC, LFT, RFT, chest X-ray, and ultrasound—all mostly normal except slightly raised SGOT.

Urgent continuous cough
Urgent severe cough with throat irritation
Mom's age: 59
I was having medication for acidity, severe burping, IBS, dyspepsia, and severe flatulence. Over time the acidity and burping is to a much lesser extent but due to GERD and severe acid reflux I started developing cough. I also have allergic cold with occasional nose blockage and chest congestion.
With these two issues I have been having persistent cough over 3 years. Initially for one year it was only while I ate the fir
1st morsel of food where I would feel choked. Later it has been consistent. It is very severe in the night.
I have cervical spondylitis. I do not take a pillow but lately have started using a soft pillow.
It is dry, continuous cough day and night and persistent, leaving my stomach and back hurting and come up to throat and giving irritation
Attached is X-ray report.
Plz help. Will be obliged 🙏I'm her daughter and v worried
