I'm so sorry your wife's aunt is suffering a SECOND round of cancer - as if one round wasn't enough!
Indeed, "Life is hard." My sister is suffering the side effects of chemo. Six months of chemo, age 61, a marathon runner....now huddled under a blanket, unable to swallow, losing weight, dwindling, and I hate cancer so much, and want to fix the world, and will go read some poems instead. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers, and yes "heaven help us" all.
