Speaking as a cancer patient, I am in remission at present. It has come back several times. It is never easy and the family and friends support is so helpful. I count my blessings every day. I now make caner quilts for people at the oncology center and where I hear of them. Knowing someone cares and is thinking about you is so up lifting. You making her the quilt will mean more than you know. Best of Luck to both of you.
