I received the following from StephN the other day:

This is Ariel, Jan's son and it is sad for me to anounce that my mom died this past saturday. it was unexpected as she and the doctors believed that she had from 6-12 months. she had already done spheres twice and it worked both times. then she went off chemo about at that time because it was making her to weak. everything was going smoothly for a few months and then the liver started to grow again (while the bone remained stable). they found out that the spheres had given her an ulcer in her stomach and so spheres were ruled out for a third time and they decided on embrolization or something like that to inject chemo with a needle into the tumors. this happened on friday and she was up and talking afterwards. then at around 6 am on saturday her heart stopped and they revived her a bit but she was already far gone. they think that perhaps the ulcer started to bleed or some type of internal bleeding occured because her hemoglobin count went very low.

just know that she was a fighter and did everything possible and hopefully you all can learn from that spirit not to give up.
