Ok, so just need to lay this out, I really don't understand how in the world this can happen today.

My dad called me Thanksgiving weekend, for a family update. I come from a large family, so it usually takes a while, and that's fine, but at the end of the conversation, he says (rather casually)

"and Robin is recovering from her stroke, and is now walking"

uhhmmm Robin is only 42, WHAT stroke??!!?? She has 4 young children...

"and Meagan's Doctors are giving her 6 months, her biopsy came back Stage IV cervical cancer, and it's in the llymph nodes that they took from her groin and underarms"

WTH---Meagan, my niece, is only 23!! And she usually does her PAPs every 2 years, and she had the vaccine....it's not like she's 30, and never been to the gyn...that's fast growing, it's already in her lymph nodes, and it's bilateral.

have been wigged out for almost a month about this, some of the shock has worn off, but still floored.

Will be making the 10 hour drive more frequently...
