Cancer

I just spoke to my mother's doctor, and it's official -- she has cancer, and it's spread. They won't know more until they do the CAT scan today and some more tests.

According to the doctor, it's really just a question of how fast this is going to kill her. She might never leave the hospital.

I am very broken up about this. Made some phone calls to her friends, as she requested. Have made some initial inquiries regarding palliative and/or home care.

Still have to finish that HB issue today, even though my heart is covered with darkness.
