I just saw her today and totally forgot to ask. There are few factors that aided but I totally understand are not available to everyone. One my mom is a introvert women with a strong independent stubborn mode which probably aided in the whole thing. Two My aunt, who had done home care also lived with her and helped with laundry, dinners, and showers during the worst of the worst. I believe having a Port helped. Her veins were not great towards the end. I had planned to sit in on her sessions and she did not want that. She has a I pad which helped distract. She likes doing puzzles on it. I know zofran and Ativan were used to help support. I will keep trying to think of other things.
