Treatment for eye melanoma
My grandmother was diagnosed with melanoma in eye that had metastasized to her backbone and chest, and was undergoing treatment in 2019. Since 6 months she is bedridden and in extreme pain. She is taking no medications right now except for painkillers. Since a week she has developed swelling in her whole body and now fluid has started to leak from her hand.
What can we do to comfort her?

Metastatic Melanoma progress very rapidly, and outcomes are usually very poor. Only best supportive care at this stage seems sufficient.

Check her Hb and albumin
Give painkillers

If Hb low... Blood
Symptomatic care is key
