Fuck cancer [View all]

I haven't talked much about this, but three women I work with were diagnosed with breast cancer. Two had mastectomies- with attendant treatments. And are doing ok, for the most part.

One is dying. Right now. As I type. I'll say goodbye to her tomorrow, but it's so hard to lose a friend.

I thought I had more time you know? The cancer invaded her lymph nodes in her lungs and can no longer breathe on her own.
She was working just 2 weeks ago, part time.

This is a bad storm for me, she is a hell of a woman.
