A Very Sad and Concerning Situation

[OneEyedDiva]

My BFF has a friend who told her that her son-in-law is hospitalized with a brain tumor. A little later, the lady told her that now her daughter has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. She may be starting a chemo regimen soon. The couple has small children who may soon be orphans. That both the parents have come down with this terrible illness made me wonder if there is something in their environment (my BFF thought perhaps their home) that caused them to get brain tumors. A decision was made to bring the children in for testing. I'm sure my BFF will keep me updated.

I feel so bad for this family. If there's any chance these illnesses were caused by environmental factors, I hope the authorities do something about it rather than sweep it under the rug. I'm not sure where they live, but I think it;s in the mid west. I've read about other places where environmental factors were thought to be responsible for an inordinate amount of cancers in the towns.

Unusual for them both so I too would suspect the environment. So sad.

When my husband was under treatment there was a couple who were both diagnosed with cancer. I could not imagine the challenges they went through in the way of care for each other. It was rough on me and I was healthy. But this? This is a nightmare. Two young people facing this terrible news in the same family at the same time.

Please let us know of any encouraging news on their prognosis.
