hi dear,
inflammatory breast cancer is very aggressive. they usually do't respond to the conventional treatment. and mortality is almost 100%.
now as you said cancer reached till brain, you can give whole brain radiotherapy or intrathecal chemotherapy.
other option is to give her just the supportive care to make her remaining life pain free.
we will pray for her.
