I still don't know much about the job situation. Al says he will call his boss after the interview today. I have a feeling she will tell him he lost the job. He says he won't be upset but I know he will. He told me his sister Anita went to the doctor yesterday but refused the chemotherapy.

That was the whole purpose of the doctor visit.

Al said his Mom was crying because the doctor told her that her kind of cancer (the inflammatory kind) is the most difficult to treat because it spreads easily. Just one stray cancer cell can be devastating. They said her fingers are turning black and that can't be good. The doctor says he'll give her a different kind of chemotherapy that won't make her feel as sick plus radiation.
If she refuses that, she will not survive.

We saw her new house again on Thursday night. I still think she's crazy to want to move at this time in her life. (getting treated for cancer, working, she has a foster son, her own son is 3 and is a wild brat... then the new house on top of this?) Al's mom told me Thursday night that she was appalled that the house doesn't look any better than when she moved in a week ago. She said, "When *I* moved in to *my* house, it was all unpacked and everything was in place in less than a week."

I told her Anita must be tired after working, going to doctors everyday-- the chemo itself can knock you out, then to deal with her son and foster son and the house and refusing any help...my MIL is really too much. She didn't have any kids to deal with when she moved, or a job, or cancer!
