Unfortunate Circumstance

My mother was put on the list for a liver transplant and everything was looking good until recently, she had developed pancreatitis which they say is fatal if she were to transplant her while she has pancreatitis. The doctors keep pushing my family and myself to hospice care and telling us to be realistic and not just hopeful. I don't want to give up on my mother, and my mother doesn't want to give up. I want to explore other options for her, second opinions, etc. I just don't know what to do.
