Just on a whim, I searched for this topic. My niece was diagnosed with this cancer last summer. First a lump in her breast, which was removed, and then more was found, in her liver and in her brain. She underwent some chemo around Thanksgiving, but it didn’t do much. We visited her after Christmas, she had lost a lot of weight. We could tell it affected her not only physically m but also mentally. The first week of January we took her to her work to drop off some work-related items and she didn’t trust herself to drive. The following week we visited her and the her condition was even worse, as she was very confused. Her funeral was this past Wednesday. I don’t know what kind of chemo she was given, and maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference, but the past month for her was a rapid fall, and I use that word deliberately.
Damn shame, she left a husband and two adult children, a son and daughter, her father and a sister. Her mother also had cancer which she succumbed to.
Liz was 52.
Some things are just wrong, they just shouldn’t happen, but they do.
