I was talking to my pops last night and he told me the doctor has giving my aunt about one month to live. The tumor has grown to the size of a large orange. About a month ago it was the size of a small tangerine.
She has tried chemo. and radiation but it has done nothing but made her white blood count drop to very low levels. She is having a hard time talking and she has fallen down four times at my pop's house. She is taking it hard and is very scared to die. I could not imagine what it would be like to be told that you have one month. I am praying for her and I hope that she finds some peace soon.
One comfort is that her mind might go before she actually does. She may soon forget that she is dying and maybe enjoy some of her remaining life. It is hard to put it into words, but I feel bad for her.

I understand. That is tough. The falling and losing control and having a timeline like that would make it all the more difficult. I'll be thinking of you.
Thanks Gibbs!
Very sad. I do hope she finds solace before the end.
Similar wishes from Mpls way.
I was not very close to my aunt, but I feel a ton of empathy for her and her situation. It is a very sad situation. I am mostly sad that I never was in the position to have a close relationship with her. I guess that there is no one to blame for that except myself.
As for the family, I will be a rock for them during this time of sorrow and grief. Many of my uncles commented at my grandmother's funeral how they liked they way I read scripture, and I guess that I might be asked to read again. I will do what is necessary to make things run as smooth as possible.
She will be the first of my uncles or aunts to pass. She is 71 and has had a healthy life up until now.
Thanks for the wishes and thoughts.
