WHY DO THE DOCTORS NOT SEEM CONCERNED OR AT LEAST TELL THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SHE IS VERY ANGRY.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your quarry. I don't think that doctors are not concerned, but unfortunately this is terminal malignant disease, and she needs now only palliative treatment, so doctors can't help much. She needs good nurse and palliative institution and you family support. You need to treat pain, care for nutrition and prevent ascites and infection. Everything else isn't in your or doctors hands. Wish you good health.
