I'm confused a bit,
She's dying for sure??
but still doing chemo?

What do the drs say about her status?
Usually they know when the end is getting near and recommend hospice.

Some do just decide to give up the fight and they just want to be free of the drs, appts & pain and suffering...

The main thing if she is nearing the end is to keep her comfortable and as pain free as possible.


We spent much time with brother in law when he was dying from cancer {liver & other}, He wouldn't go on his own - his elderly father had to drag him in to ER. But he was too far advanced for any chemo , so that was it.
He just wanted to be home where he could go in peace all he would eat the last few days was watermelon.
He wanted no covers on him and kicked them off quite often - but it was summer in CA at the time - even though the AC was on.
He passed away 6 days after finally going to the hospital.
