Palliative/ hospice : I wish I had better news, but your mom' s condition is serious. Depending on her functional and nutritional status/ cancer stage she might be a candidate for hospice care if congruent with her wishes. At a minimum she should have a Palliative Care consult in order to make sure her symptoms are well controlled and her further care is aligned with her and your wishes.
