I'm happy for her, and hope her treatment did what it needs to, nobody should have to lose a parent to that.
Both my parents had cancer simultaneously... my mother basically ignored her health issues while taking my father to his 5x weekly radiation and chemo. I'm glad we were in canada so her 'costs' were like, parking and his liquid diet and copays for painkillers before being reimbursed. Oddly the health care system worked in his favour and his treatment started a week and a half after his diagnosis.
When he passed, I waited about a month or two and was like "you need to see your dr about x", and it t, it was cancer, but one that is very very very slow growing and basically has to be ignored for a decade to kill you, and is removed by basically scraping it off. Once that was done, and confirmed, she was also lucky to have a system that worked in her favour (persons ahead of her for the treatment cancelled their day surgery), and her surgery was done 3 weeks after her confirmation, and she's been cancer free since, but still gets a yearly check to confirm it's still not back.
