More Sad Family News

Last June 10, my mother's sister, Gail, passed away from cancer.

I just got word that another one of mom's sisters, Lee, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Survival rates run about 5%. She's been given 6-8 weeks.

Just once, I'd like a happy reason to return to Canada.

Lee is going through something similar... she had minor abdominal pain on occasion, but didn't think anything of it. After all, who would? It was indistinguishable from run-of-the-mill indigestion. Only when she clearly was experiencing jaundice just recently did she go for an extensive & thorough exam.

She's coming up on her 59th birthday.

Wow.

Hugs my friend.
