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.

I hate to say it because I know it puts more stress on you, but I think you should ask for cab fare, and then take her to the clinic. Explain to them what's going on. You have to be a parent to your Mom now, unfortunately.
ETA: Actually, what am I saying? Your mom needs to be IP. You can borrow their phone and call 911. Tell them your mom is suicidally depressed. She is. She needs help. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but unfortunately you'll have to be the grownup in charge.
