My mother who is 73 is terminal with cancer. Two years ago it was discovered in her blatter and treated but in the last 5 months it has spread to her lungs, bones, liver, kidneys. She is on oxygen to help her breathing now.
My father died 24 years ago and she remarried a man who is in my mothers terms a little greedy when it comes to money. Back before she took a turn for the worse she and her husband planned a trip to a remote place in Mexico to visit a large canyon which they would hike into with a group of people.
Her husband is adamant that she still go on this trip, she doesn't really want to go but is afraid to say no to him. My sister who is a nurse has told her should she get any type of sickness there it would be fatal and without her oxygen she might not make it, she doesn't think she can take her oxygen on the airplane.
They will have to take a train and bus ride to reach the caynon area in Mexico. Her husband said she can sit in the bus while they others hike. We have pleaded with her husband not to take her but he says she will be okay. We had told him that if she does die there it could be difficult to get her body back to the states. His reply was we have $5,000.00 insurance for medical and I can use your inheritance to get her back if I have to.
We don't care about the inheritance, he does, she tried to take care of her financial affairs when she first discovered she had cancer and he is upset about that. We care about her health and don't want to she her die any sooner than what is natural. His responce when asked what if she dies on this trip was, oh well.
Does anyone know how we can protect our mother in this situation??
Thanks,
Randy
