My mother had some type of stomach cancer and got her stomach removed, and then she had chemo. She received a fairly modern drug (Rituximab), and I think this is probably what saved her life. This was 10 years ago, and she is doing fine right now, without any signs of remission. In your case, the doctors will prescribe the best course of action. The chemo drugs are different, but you can expect 2 things: chemo will be rough, and her immune system will be weak. One thing you should consider to prepare for the weakened immune system is vaccination. I for one am very pro-vaxx, but you should do your research. If I were in this position, I'd advise my Mom to get the latest Covid booster, and the flu shot. I'd look into pneumonia and shingles vaccines too. My Mom got a herpes infection when she was doing chemo. That's not fun. Later on, she got shingles. This was years after the chemo, but it took maybe half a year to clear out. Things that are easy on a healthy person can become major nuisances for someone with chemo.
