Denise and Fred

One of the unexpected blessings of breast cancer treatment for me was getting involved in the Michigan Survivors thread on breastcancer.org.
I made some really lovely friends, ladies who do the Komen Race for the Cure together every year, and meet for lunch about quarterly. It seems that Terry is the 3rd husband to be diagnosed with cancer since their wife's BC diagnosis - and the longest anyone has been in the group is 5 yrs.

Fred, Denise's husband, was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February. Totally stinks. He was treated at the U of as well. The chemo didn't work, and he entered hospice a few weeks ago.

They had hoped for so much more time.

I talked to Neese yesterday. She's praying for my Terry. Breaks my heart.
