Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are recommended treatments for cervical cancer stage 3.

Surgery and chemotherapy are recommended treatments for ovarian cancer at stage III.

I don’t agree that chemotherapy, surgery or radiotherapy will shorten her time left.

You could consult an oncologist about your sister’s treatment options.
