She is a clinical nurse consultant and has said she'll consider her options regarding treatment options when the time comes, by this she meant not having treatment that makes you feel worse when you've no chance of recovery.
She's also not into using heavy drugs that knock you out, not sure what she'll do about that one.

My mum is in a similar situation to your sister. Back in 2011 she was given 12 weeks if she did nothing and 20% of making 12 months, she had 4 good years but the last 18 months has been really hard on her
My uncle was told 5 years ago he'd be right after they cut out a mole, 12 months later I watched him turn from a reasonably healthy guy in his late 60s to an unconscious twisted man who dragged on for ages before finally passing away
I'm for euthanasia 100%
