She's finished with her radiation treatments, which is good news, but they did an extra round of treatments beyond her spine and skull because the tumor in her arm was so large.  My mother in law is not a large person to begin with, and she's lost about 15 pounds over the past month and a half.  She's down to 93 pounds so I suspect her doctor will say chemo is no longer an option because it might kill her sooner than the cancer.

At least there is some good news.  My father in law is back on an even keel again.  He had gone off his medication for the month his wife was in the hospital.  Back on meds, with a higher dose of one and he's back to being a responsible adult.  They've also begun the process of getting a will together which takes some pressure off as well.  My wife also seems to be accepting of the situation but it's still tough on all of us.

Depending on the news Friday next week will be tough.  Monday is a pain med pump appointment.  Tuesday is the chemo and Wednesday my mother in law is scheduled to have a port put in to make IV meds easier.  I have no idea why the port is scheduled after the chemo, but that's how it stands.  Friday's appointment could change it all anway.

A part of me just wishes this would all be over.  My wife could finally take the time to cry, my kids wouldn't have to be in daycare, and our finances would be back in the black.  Gasoline, daycare beyond preschool, etc.  I feel so bad saying it, but it's not doing my wife any good to be so stressed out watching her mother die.
