If your mother has cancer she may only really have weeks to live. Who knows how fast it may spread. This situation is just sounding completely crazy and dysfunctional to me. Your mom needs to be treated.

I think it's nuts too. She is incredibly depressed. Her life has been nothing but pain, she's told me so many things about it. I just don't think she wants to live much longer. We both need therapy I think, so that is a good idea. I can talk to her about it, but I just don't know. I hate to talk bad about my parents but this is the truth, my parents are the kind of people who say they're going to do something and then never do it. They've gotten me all excited about things in the past and then those things were forgotten about or dropped and I eventually learned to give up hope of those things ever happening. Now I've learned not to expect anything in the first place. What I'm saying is, she may agree to it and say it's a good idea, but then let it go and never have it arranged. I just can't tell. I can try.
What I do know is that she's had the spot on her lung for 6 years now and is still doing kinda well, but the spot has grown three times the size since then. I don't know how her liver is. I wish I could convince her to get treatment for the cancer as well, but her mind's made up about that I think.
