Spindle Cell Sarcoma

Spindle Cell Sarcoma

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma of the lung today. The tumor is in the left lung. It has also spread into the chest cavity, and possibly attatched itself to the aorta or close to it. The tumor is about 8cm.
She is 84 years old. Surgery has been ruled out, chemo has been determined to be of value and radiation is known to have no effect on this type of tumor. Her oncologist has recommended hospice and pain management as the best course. She has been given two months, maybe. Any opinions or suggestions by anyone that has experience with this type od cancer?
