Jan 2025

I had a dear friend years ago who confronted ovarian cancer. I don't know the exact medical circumstances, but she kept "thinking positive" and "fighting." She went through more chemo, beyond the point that it seemed there was much gain for the pain... She died in bed, so sick and skeletal she was unrecognizable.

I'm hoping the doctors will be straight with me.
