See her doc.: Your mother is very sick and is receiving advanced therapy for her condition. She already has a diagnosis or at least has a variety of testing which has excluded many diagnoses. You should discuss her current working diagnosis and prognosis with her doctor. It is not useful for us to guess or second guess her current course of specialist care.
