My uncle is in his last stage of cancer. He had a PCN done followed by antegrade standing. After standing his appetite gradually decreased over 3 months and he stopped eating. Four days back he was admitted to the hospital with sepsis, mucositis, Hb 5, creatinine 3.2 and potassium 5.2 and bodyweight 48 kg. He is on intravenous antibiotics now and still can't eat and can't even stand or sit. I want to know about the chances of his survival and if there is anything to do to increase his life span.

Most of medical challanges need doctor to listen to detailed medical history in form of questions and answers, examination of patient and sometimes reports so meet concerned doctor- Oncologist or team of doctors treating him.

The condition of your uncle appears critical. However you have not specified which cancer he is suffering from. What is the stage based on? Any imaging I would be able to opine better if you send me all the reports.
