From what you described, your mother is weak and in ICU. Obviously, the first order of priority is to take care of her pneumonia problem. Breast cancer and its metastatic site are seldom medical emergencies. Treating her with chemo at this critical moment would only weaken her resistance to various germs. Try to help her with encouragement words. Best of luck to all of you.
