I cannot believe some of the responses that OP is getting her validating her callous disregard for a family member in need.  It is sick.  And the person going on and on about how the SIL should take an Uber after getting chemo...  I try not to wish bad things on people but her continual posting about it is really challenging me in this regard.

It is funny.  I posted elsewhere on this thread and the content of my post stood out to a friend.  When we were talking about it today she said that (hypothetically) if one of our friends was going through the same challenge, needing to travel one day a week to help the sick family member, that the rest of us would probably not only do a food train to cover that one night when she would be gone but also cook foods for her to take and put in her SIL's freezer.  That's how members of a community act when one member of the community needs help and support.[/quote]

Food train? Are you going to cover one day a week at their office? Pay their mortgage after they lose their job?

If you seriously think people out of state should be summoned to go with you to every chemo, you’re nuts.
 
You sound like a SAM who has nothing to do with her life. Other than food trains. [/quote]

I don't know what your problem is PP but count me in as a person who definitely would take FMLA one day a week to take a sick relative to chemo.  And I definitely would do a food train to help the SIL so that she had some yummy meals in her freezer that she could use whenever she needed.  And I definitely would contribute money or even pay her mortgage if the SIL lost her job because of her cancer.

Here's the kicker, I would even do these things for you if you had cancer and were going through chemo, and I'm being honest when I say that I have an extremely negative opinion of you.  [/quote]
