Question

I'm really worried about my mother-in-law. She's got this lung problem with encysted empyema in her left lung and a 1.5cm encavitation in her right lung. We've been getting her treated at a private hospital, but she's not making a full recovery. What should we do next? Is there something else we should be looking into? Really hoping for some guidance here.
