I think I read that Carboplatin can be used for brain lesions, but I could be wrong about that. Ask your mother's doctor if that can be used. Check to see if your mother's insurance will help pay for homecare or call your local Catholic Charities office. They might be able to suggest some resources. If your city or state has a phone system where you dial 211 to get suggestions about homecare you might be able to get some info from that source. Of course you might have to do background checks on the people they suggest. Your mother's doctor or nurse might be able to make suggestions. The hospital social worker might be able to suggestions some options.
