Update on sister-in-law [View all]

As her doctors were preparing to start chemotherapy, they determined that she is not healthy enough for it

She is being sent home for hospice care. The oncologist predicts that she has only a week or two.

Thank all of you who sent vibes and healing prayers. I guess the powers of the universe have simply decided to give her a swift end.

She and my brother will "celebrate" 46 years of marriage on Monday.
