Get all facts: This does not sound like a treatable illness, and it may be to your physician's credit that he/she was up-front with you. If you are the person making the decisions, you have a right to full information within the limits set by the patient's previous directives.

How sad!: What a tough time for you! You don't say what her condition is at present, but it sounds dire. Talk to the doctor and your family, and a second opinion and even a third is always a good idea. It helps to write things down so you remember better what was said and to have your questions written down, too, so you don't forgot them when you are talking with the docs. Best wishes to you!
