“It didn’t show up on the x-ray and when they eventually opened him up, their techniques were not advanced enough to do anything about it,” she recalled. “He did have radiation, but he ended up with serious burns from it. He went from being a big man to next to nothing in about 18 months.” “There’s some kind of genetic weakness somewhere that allows cancer to get started in my family,” she remarked.
“Our kids had been really close to him and my husband and I were close to him and his wife. My son, particularly, was really impacted by that,” she said.“Cancer doesn’t dominate my life. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it and I don’t worry about whether I might get something. I’m 84 years old now.”
