A family member was diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer, both ovaries, omentum, peritoneal cavity and deep into abdomen. 
Due to a heart condition, biopsy was not possible and no surgery possible. Effects have been explained by doctor and risk of chemotherapy on the heart. However a decision was made to go ahead with chemo. 
Despite being unable to move or eat due to ascites and issues with bowel control, talk is about ‘when chemo has worked’ and no talk is being addressed or wanted about care now and end of life. Consequently this is having a ‘fire fighting’ effect on all of the family. 

my question here, are we all being negative and the chemo could significantly extend life or cure ? Quality of life now is poor and family are running around as proper care and equipment is being shunned by patient. 

any support or advice please
