It may sound strange, but chemo is quite a killer by itself. So if your mother is in the ropes, as in so weak, that another round would kill her, postpone the round, even against the doctors advice.

My grandmother was given a diagnosis of 3 months, after postponing one chemo treatment, she lived ten years after that - though not in remission and in the later years in constant pain.
