Can Radiation Therapy Be Performed To Cure Lymphoma Of The Brain When Kidneys Are Functioning Weak?

hi. My mother has a lymphoma of the brain, Seems to be no cure. She is 72. Doctors wont do chemo or radiation cause they say here kidneys not operating properly. Also it appears she has had a sroke in the last 2 days affecting her left sid. She is still eating well and drinking. She has always been an active person althou a smoker. I guess a merical cure would be good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Many thanks maree
