Only legitimate, scientifically proven medical treatment, has been proven to be efficacious for the treatment and/or mitigation of cancer (in all of its forms). From your explanation provided to Christine, it sounds like she has not had a valid treatment plan or failed to complete one.
Incidentally we have had patients here , in their 80's "handle" the treatment, which is very brutal at any age.
Hospice care is free in most areas of California and is also covered by Medicare/Medical - call your local hospital social services for referals or Google hospice care in your area. Having personal experience with hospice twice I cannot sing their praises loudly enough. They manage the pain, monitor the patient, train the caregivers, provide aids, bathing, respite care, etc. and provide for the highest quality of life possible for end stage patients
