kidney cancer/dialysis/treatment

  Hi- My mother has only one kidney - one was removed approx. 25 years ago due to an auto accident. The remaining kidney has been
  diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. She has recently suffered kidney failure and is now on dialysis 3x a week. She
  was supposed to go thru a chemo and medication treatment plan, but now "does not meet the criteria for such treatmnet" Why?
  What options do you think she may have as far as treatment?
  Should her kidney be removed and would she be eligible for
  a transplant? Does she need a kidney if she remains on dialysis?
  Do you know who the best doctor for this type of illness is, in our area (Eastern, Pa)?  Any info you can provide would be very
  helpful I'm sure.  My mother is 50 years old and very thin -
  approx 110lbs. No other diseases.
  thank you, Kim
