How to consult for palliative care
Hi, My mother has been diagnosed with vaginal melanoma in December 2024, followed by surgery at the site to remove the cyst. We have done 18 cycles of immunotherapy with keytruda injection and 6cycles of chemo therapy, now condition is not good, still disease is progressing, there are vaginal growth that came outside and inner body as well. We did radiation for vaginal growth as well, now my mother is not stable, unable to eat properly, all medicines are allergic and loss all muscles as well. Currently left side of the face is swelling and right eye is bulged. How we can proceed further. Any doctors can be available for video consultation since she is not stable to visit the doctors at the hospital.

As per the condition you need to sought opinion of palliative care specialist nearby . If the disease has spread and she is not stable she may require hospice care at home for palliation.
