She was only on chemo briefly while waiting on approval and delivery of what was experimental (pill form) drug that worked for a while and then another experimental drug (also pill) that helped for a few months but had debilitating side effects that ultimately had me take her to the hospital ER never to return to her home but spending the last 5 months in rehab and hospice. I believe a dcvax treatment might have been a good alternative to the experimental drugs and through end of life rather than opting out from continuing the path of more debilitating treatments for questionable very temporary elongation of low quality of life at significant risk of “eventing” sooner than no treatment and who knows what extraordinary measures were to be.

Chemo was early on thought to possibly just slow progression a few months and the oncologist avoided chemo as a result.

All the long term survivors in the trial started out on TMZ.
And we know that probably 50 or more had not had a disease recurrence by Spring 2019.
That makes life a lot easier and better.
