but when someone else brings it up it is difficult. I have softened my wording when the topic comes up. I am not at all "militant" in my conversations.

My sister-in-law will be alone after I leave this Sunday. The good thing is he has completed all of his chemo and radiation but there are some issues secondary to the radiation that could be life altering for him. My brother is not the most compliant person I know but his wife is an RN. I have worked in pharmaceutical research in oncology for the past 17+ years and my knowledge base is good. I told her that I could come back out if she starts to go any crazier. I just took early retirement. Hell of a way to start the retirement thing.

Thanks for everyones concern.
