So, one of my friends from UD (a crazy guy named Brent) just got dx'd with an osteosarcoma or osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his arm. It's highly malignant, metastasizing to the lungs. Tx usually consists of chemo and amputation. Not fun. He's my age.
Seems like everyone's getting cancer lately. One of the UD IV leader's wife just got dx'd with pancreatic cancer. (Her name is Suzie). I overheard the nurses talking about her at the Medical Oncology Hemotology Consult chemo suite in the Helen Graham Center at Christiana Care. She probably won't have that long. It's pretty much palliative care from here on out. She's ok as far as I know, but her husband, Will, is a mess.
Also, the mom of one of my high school senior classmates just got dx'd with breast cancer. I got to see her getting her first round of chemo at the MOHC chemo suite in the HGC. I got to talk to her and her husband, who was my class "dad" at Red Lion. It was nice to talk to them. She's doing pretty good...now. Give her a couple days until the effects of the chemo hits. Breast cancer chemo drugs are pretty hard.
Speaking of, one of my mom's friends and coworker from Red Lion was also dx'd with breast cancer. She has three kids, and the oldest is good friends with my little sister. I don't know if she's started chemo yet. I think she's just had a mastectomy.
Yeah. Not fair. However, God is good. He has plans and he works miracles.
Nuff said.
Praise God
