Depressing news!
I just got off the phone with my niece living in San Francisco earlier today. Called her to tell her that I was back from another trip in Thailand
She has been fighting cancer for many years now, I've been in Hawaii over 4 years now, and she hasn't been able to make it over because of her illness. She was coughing a lot, because the cancer is all over in her body, affecting her lungs, in her liver, and stomach. She hasn't had any chemo treatments for the last few months, because they can't do anything any longer. She said feeling too ill to do anything, and almost bed ridden now. Next week, the people from the hospice will be coming in to evaluate her status.......she is getting all of the necessary things done now and just waiting to be in a better life soon? It was difficult to hear all of this from a loved one that is suffering daily with poor health, and you feel so helpless and can't do anything for them.........we grew up together and have been very close, playing, fighting, school together, and all the past birthday parties.....this is so sad to hear.....
I will fly to San Francisco next week to see her again before it's too late. So sad to think about this now Never take your own health for granted!
