Health Update
Jun. 12th, 2007 06:51 amNothing new as to my sisters fainting fits. So not an update on that, but more along my friend's brother
He has stomach cancer. They cannot cut it out, because it is too near the glands. Anyway they gave him a break from the treatment, but in the meantime he has become so weak. He cannot leave the house, so he cannot get to the chemo. Things are not looking good for him. He is only 51.
Because of this, my friend is very depressed. She has been off work for four weeks. Her mom died earlier this year as well. Which might be a blessing, as Annemarie thinks this would've killed her anyway. Seeing her son suffering so much. This leaves Annemarie as the last of her family, her other brother dying in his 30's, and father passing on soon after.
She needs all the strength she can get at present. The only up side is she is going to be a grandmother in about 10 weeks, and is rallying round as much as she can to support her daughter.
