If any one has been there done this I'd appreciate if you could
comment.

Here's the story.  I just got off the phone with my son's girlfriend.
Her mom has stage 4 ductal breast cancer and had a lumpectomy
and lymph nodes removed.  She then began chemo...during the
course of the chemo, she began having problems walking, (falling down)
etc., and was informed that the cancer had metasized to her brain.
They stopped the chemo and began radiation treatment on the northern
hemisphere of her brain.  Near the end of the treatment, the machine
they were using broke down, so they missed two days, and if I got this
correctly, she ended up getting two extra days to make up for the days
missed.  Almost immediately after the radiation was finished, she down
hill.  Dr said she had an adverse reaction to the radiation and that
her brain was swollen...she has little muscle control.  She also has
developed pneumonia and has had her iv fluids taken away.  She
is getting next to nothing in the way of nourishment...her daughter
is angry and terrified that they are to put it nicely "encouraging"
her to die.  Her father won't discuss anything with her and was mad
as hell that her little brother told her what was going on so that she
and her older brother could fly back there to "support" mom and the
family.  She's asking me what to do and if what they are doing is
right, and I don't know what to tell her.  

Anyone have any thoughts?  

Thanks,
