I was wondering if there are any other siblings besides your husband to help out?She is elderly and may not have many friends and is used to living independantly.So she may not want strangers/cleaners coming into her home. If you can't then could your husband pop over and do abit of housework?Can one of you go with her to the doctors so you hear what's going on?Or ring the doctor..An elderly person may not take in everything -perhaps that's why she is evasive?Do you have a spare room so she could stay whilst having chemo? I have my mum with us at the moment whilst she is ill.She was worried she'd be a nuisance but I just insisted and she was quite relieved really.It is easier to look after her with the two of us here. My siblings want to help as well. It's abit difficult at the moment for you but keep trying because she will need family support.
