「 bouncing away 7:16 AM 」
I just found out from Mom that her sister was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. The doctors said that she only has three months (minimum) to live. Chemotherapy won't even be able to save her. All the doctors could do is numb the pain through radiation and some shots. And all we (family and friends) could do is pray and hope for a miracle. I am still shocked at this awful news. I wish this isn't happening right now.

My aunt has been in and out of hospitals for the past three months. It started with a severe migraine. A month ago, she was rushed to the emergency room because she couldn't breathe. She couldn't swallow after that so a feeding tube is now attached to her stomach. Her voice lost its original volume. She can only talk softly and slowly. Series of tests were done to determine her illness. At first, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. After a week, water was found in her heart and brain so another series of tests were done on her. She lost her eye sight and could only see shadows. Today the results were given out. I dread hearing them. I seriously wish this isn't happening right now.

A couple of months back, we had a family reunion. Almost everyone from my mother's side attended the affair. My auntie was quite strong then. No one would really think that she'd ever be diagnosed with a serious illness. She was so energetic and full of life. Why did this happen to her? Life really is unfair. This is very depressing. I wish this isn't happening right now. :(

Signing off, kathy.
