Yes - it's possible they're still hoping to treat - though maybe not cure - it can't hurt - really though it depends on the type of chemo. I would do it e en if it's palliative sometimes it's not all about buying time but if t works it may shrink the tumors - (less pain? Difficulty breathing?) as the dr. Hugs to you . I know this must be very hard for you!
