I read the news on cnn.com yesterday evening. It tore me up only because it was announced a day or two after the election and I was awaiting my second chemo session at that time. So, I was thinking that for me, it would not seem long enough for life. Just 6 years, and for her, she has those little kids still AND some of her time was crappy (sorry about that word, would like to use another) - with what her husband put her through and all. This is a very sad outcome for her or anyone.

God bless everyone.
