If bro and I had been there, maybe we could have done something effective about finding her another oncologist. I dunno. It happened the way it did. I loved her and I miss her.

It was bad. But I’ve certainly seen worse.

The type of lymphoma she’d been diagnosed with that October probably couldn’t have killed her for several years. But the end-of-January round of chemo took her out on Groundhog Day of ‘94.

She had one very bad week as opposed to many years of increasing suffering, and we had time to get to her before she slipped into coma. Nonetheless, what I saw happen to my mom means that, if I’m ever diagnosed with cancer, I’ll have to think very hard about whether to accept chemo.
