I would consider a HealthTap consultation. This is not a general question. Best wishes to your family.

Difficult for her and for you as a parent. Terminal means that the cancer is no longer curable, the only good news is that with current available treatments including newer drugs, progression can be stopped or slowed down significantly. Your best reference remains your daughter’s oncologist and you should try to attend one of her visits in order to have your questions answered.
