Hi and welcome to HCM.
I am afraid that there is no other treatment but chmotherapy and this is also just palliative measure so if she cant stand chemo then she can juust have painkillers and oxygen to prevent hypoxemia. Stage 4 is unfortunately incurable and it is expected that complications with other organs will arise Wish you good health. Regards
