Today it's my turn to go see a sick friend at the hospital. She has lymphoma and is no longer in remission. She could not tolerate the recent attempt to resume chemo, and she's also running consecutive infections so it's unlikely she will be able to try an alternative chemo cocktail..... damn, damn, damn!

She has started to talk that talk about the end.... I'm sure she will bring it up today and I have NO idea what I will have to offer in response. I know all the RIGHT responses, of course, but will I think of them at all?

Of course it reminds me of many of our dear Mudcatters' struggles, and it made me wonder-- beneath the sparkling fun and liveliness around Mudcat threads at the moment-- who else is sick, or supporting someone sick?
