I urge you to speak with a LUNG LINE nurse, by calling the LUNG LINE, at 1-800-222-LUNG(5864), Mon-Fri, between 8am & 4:30pm, Colorado time, to discuss your mother's situation with a knowledgable nurse!
If your mother is a "fighter", and if she is capable of having a decent quality of life, you may need to aggressively pursue getting some better medical help for her. A LUNG LINE nurse could advise you more about this!
I wish you the best.
Sincerely, Concerned lady
