Call 911: More likely than not. Cancer treatments can certainly make it more difficult to fight off infection & carry about doing life's daily activities. Weight loss associated w/cancer & its treatments implies inadequate nutrition. Overdosing on medication is never a good idea. Death is a high probably given above yet it's also likely even w/o taking these measures. That's why we need to make hospice avai.

CALL AMBULANCE: THIS IS AN OVERDOSE. Asking someone online is not going to be helpful. You need emergency services for her. Call 911 or your emergency number and get help for her.
