I know you are responding to Gracie, and my apologies for jumping in, but this just brings up MORE questions.
Your neighbor is alone, dying of cancer with no one to help her. She is too weak to fix a meal? Shouldn't she be in an assisted care facility or with family to take care of her? How does she make it day to day any other day?
