Oh Jan, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I have one DF that is suffering with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. They gave her about a year to live, and it has been nine months already. She is on Hospice Care. We have been friends for about 45 years! Our kids were small at that time. I do not live close to her, so send her cards all the time. I know I will be broken hearted when I hear the news of her passing. Know that she is no longer suffering, and in a much better place. Praying for you and your friend!
