Flies will lay eggs in any open wound so... If there are potential for others in the house to have open sores I would say it can present a problem.
She should realistically be in a hospital. Being at home during the end stage of cancer is fine, but there has to be proper care available to her. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable/painful this must be.
Hugs.
