:(

I found out today that someone I've known since I was really little has colon cancer. I spent most of my first class trying to hide that I was crying. A 5 cm tumor and some "spots" on her liver. Who knows what else they'll find?

I've been thinking about it all day, and I've known 2 people who survived cancer (I work with them) and the other two people died, one of whom was my favorite aunt. She went downhill in months. I got to talk to her one last time, and I'm not sure that she knew exactly who I was. Dad wouldn't let me go to her funeral, because he said that she would have wanted me to remember her how she was, and not see her like that.
