either and I do not know if this is the right question but if I were in the situation I would ask my loved one if they wanted to die. I know this sounds horrible but it sounds like they just might have accepted what is and are going with it.
I had a partner for 8 years who passed away many years ago. She had adult respiratory distress syndrome and was on a ventilator for 6 weeks. She could communicate a little bit but it was always difficult. One day she just turned her head, looked at me and mouthed the words, "I love you" so clearly and perfectly that my eyes got wide and I jumped up and started talking to her and telling her how she was going to be OK and how we would take a vacation etc but she refused to look at me. Her eyes did that fluttering thing that they had done so many times before when it seemed as if she was out of it.
And then it became so clear that she was saying goodbye. And I shut up except to tell her I loved her too.
And then she died about 24 hours later.
Maybe this is not your partner's story and maybe your partner wants to live and wants another treatment. That is why I said I think you should ask. Because if that is true then you can do something about it and if the other is true you can spend your time together in a period of love and acceptance.
Whatever happens you both will be ok. I believe that.
