My paternal grandmother did exactly THAT to my mom after Mom had already a diagnosis of stomach cancer and given less than 3 months to live. I was then 6 months pregnant with my only successful pregnancy, and had 3 miscarriages prior, so Mom didn't even want me told at first about her diagnosis, so I didn't lose another one.
My dad did manage to step up, take care of Grandma and Mom, until Grandma asked to go into the same assisted living facility as her father. I think it took only a few months. 😇🤣
But Mom was in tears about Grandma telling the family "I'm going back to my hometown where my daughter-in-law will care for me just like she took care of her mother!" THAT was twenty years prior, and Mom didn't have a cancer diagnosis at that time.
Mom almost made it two whole years after diagnosis before passing, so she did play with her grandbaby, my baby only one born before she died, and Grandma lived another 3 years after Mom.
