You have come to a place where everyone lives with cancer daily. All of our circumstances are so unique as is your Aunt's. Whatever course she chooses for herself will be very difficult. As Mark is suggesting, you should seek out more opinions of professionals that are trained and have experience to help guide your Aunt through one of the most difficult decisions she has ever had to make.
Your Aunt is blessed to have someone that cares so much about her by her side through this. I wish you and her the best possible outcome.
