The wife of the preacher at the church I grew up in has been having various health issues off-and-on for the last few years, mostly of the chronic pain variety. When I saw her at my brother's wedding back in July, they were talking about her having to start using a wheelchair by the end of the year because she was having trouble walking because of the pain.
Last Tuesday morning (the 21st) she collapsed because her blood sugar was ridiculously low. They ran some tests, and they found cancer basically everywhere. She died a little over an hour ago, just over eight days after being diagnosed.
Fuck cancer.
