Ok. I mean it's not totally feasible to me because my dad has aggressive brain cancer and he hasn't seen an impatient for more than a day, but it's the best guess so far. Ben does say that she needs to stay so she can get the best care "so she can go home and rest" so it's maybe that she got in an emergency situation and she's not quite out of it. Chemo can do that to people.
The main thing is this: hospitals are crazy expensive. If your insurance can find a reason to put you anywhere else, like a nursing home, or a long-term care facility, or a rehab facility, or just send you home with aids (the people who help you kind, not the other kind), they will do it.
"Brain cancer" is a pretty huge blanket that has all kinds of presentations and all kinds of progressions. With that comes all kinds of potential complications. It's my headcanon because it's the only thing I can think of that really could fit, even though the vast majority of cases don't present the Doris seems to.
