Thanks, all. Let me clarify: It's due to brain cancer that has become untreatable. Another operation would be a severe risk of losing her sight AND mobility. Chemo alone will not extend her life much. So she's been off chemo for a year.

Of course, the thing is growing, and there are no more MRIs per hospice policy as long as she doesn't agree to surgery. It makes sense, the treatments wouldn't change (just keep seizures/dementia under control) and another MRI would just cause everyone anxiety anyway.
