Short Update

My Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer over a year ago. It was in early stages, responded to chemo and went into remission. Apparently she found another lump just before Christmas and it was confirmed that it had returned but she held off on telling anyone until after New Year's so she 'didn't ruin anyone's holiday'.

All I can think is how horrible her holiday must have been trying to deal with this all by herself. Suffering in silence sucks, big time, and I just wish she'd have told us when it happened so I could have given her a big spoonie cuddle and made sure her Christmas was extra-awesome.
