You have to admire her and the family for courage. She first got cancer at 11 ,battled it for 3 years ,it returned  at 22 and then again at 33. So much suffering  its just tragic .

I guess it is the way it can happen but to fight so hard so long must have been soul distroying for all involved.

I feel very sorry for the father as his wife suicided when the children were young and he raised 3 kids alone ,to have one get cancer you would feel cursed .

makes me think of how fortunate my life has been
