mom's cancer and a question

Hey all ,

Well they said mom has squamous cell cancer right between her lungs,

inoperable.

They can do chemo to arrest it , but it wont cure it ,

My question for anyone out there , does that mean she will have to be on chemo

the rest of her life??????? And does anyone know if medicare covers this

??????????

They are NOT well off at all . to poor for help , not well off enough to

handle the financial aspect of this .

She is doing pretty good wants to come HOME

Thanks

Deb
