Hello @serenalux and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. First, let me say I am sorry to read that your mom and you are going through this. By the sounds of your explanation of her journey, I get a sense that you are not sure if what she was originally told for her prognosis is accurate, especially given that she seems to be reacting quite differently than you were prepped for.

Has she, or have you, considered getting a second opinion as an option?
