	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Sat 03, Jan 2009 12:49pm: Hi, It would not be advisable to give any opinion in the case of your mother considering her medical history and treatment history. It would be ebst to seek consulattion and discuss all your doubts with her doctor in person. Nothing can be said with surety without having a complete clinical examination and relevant investigations. You would need to consult your doctor for the further plan of management. Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information. Post us about what your doctor advises. Regards.
