Mom Update

I don't "get" my mom's doctors. They keep going back and forth with her, sending her on an emotional rollercoaster. "You've got cancer," "You don't have cancer," "You've got 5 years to live," "It's not life-threatening." They don't seem to know what they're talking about. The hospital she's going to is full of a bunch of students / future doctors. If it was me, I'd go somewhere different. I guess she's stuck there, though, because it's, like, the nearest hospital that my dad's insurance will accept. They're saying that she's going to have to take chemotherapy for the rest of her life. They'll probably end up changing their minds about that, too, before long. I don't know... But, yeah, she does have cancer. They all agree on that, now. It's in her liver, and in her spine.
