I suppose it does... she isn't treated because she doesn't want to be. She doesn't want to go through chemo and all that. Besides, the doctor told her that if the cancer's in her liver, then it's also likely in her blood, and in that case there would be nothing they could really do for her anyway. She doesn't see the point in going through all that. I think she's just accepted that this is the thing that will take her in the end. She has a few years still before it'll start getting to her real bad I think... but it's hard. My mom's the only person who I really have left, and after she's gone I will have lost everyone close to me. I'll be completely alone.
