Stunned.

That's the word that I would use. I have a long time friend whose sister was diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive form of cancer a couple of years ago. And even though it has never been a secret that her chances were not good, it's very surreal to hear that things are coming to a close.

She's been through everything under the sun in terms of treatment. She was told a few weeks ago that there was nothing more they could do and "to go home and treat the symptoms."

Today, she was given a timeline. They estimate she's got about 3 weeks to live.

Three weeks. Not months. Weeks. Mere days. How does one even begin to process that? How does one even fathom such a reality?

She is 28 and is married with a beautiful 3 year old daughter. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks.
