help for anger

Is there anyone who can give me a suggestion as to how to react to my fiance?  His mother has endometrial cancer that has spread and is currently on hormone therapy.  She frequently hesitates in making doctor's appointments and is still working, which upsets my fiance to no end.  Today he said, "it's her life, if she wants to die then whatever."  Personally, I feel that it is her life but there has to be some compromise between letting her do what she feels comfortable doing (like going to work) and helping her with her hesitation (making doctor's appointment).  He's so angry and frustrated, and I don't know if my suggestions are even desired.  Is there anything anyone can think of that I can say that might help him feel a little less angry and frustrated?

I can't tell you how much it helps me to have someone to talk to about this.
