Thanks for the advice, everyone. They're doing chemo, but the doctors are pretty noncommittal about it - it has a 20-40% chance of shrinking the tumor till it's operable, and the other day after about 2 weeks of chemo they asked her if she wanted to stop, the side effects are so unpleasant, and they don't seem optimistic (to say the least) about her prognosis.

Lesley, her daughter/my friend, is trying some homeopathic and herbal stuff to help her, but I don't know how she's doing, really. Lesley doesn't really seem to want to talk about it. I feel pretty helpless.
