My mother and sister had cancer. Mom was older when diagnosed. But she beat that, but died of Diabetes. My sister also beat it. Still with us.I'm so sorry for your loss, it's devastating.
My mom was a two time cancer, survivor (1968 (I was 4) and 1996 (my youngest was 5) , she lived to be 93. My father passed from cancer in his early 80's, he lived for 13 years after his first diagnoses.
