Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has lung cancer and it has metastasis in brain. It is stage 4 cancer. It is rapidly spreading and highly malignant. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy work as palliative treatment. It can not cure the disease. Despite of treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is just few months. According to my opinion no treatment should be given.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
