Just a question. I haven’t had time to follow this closely. Regardless, Christopher dying and then her diagnisis seems like a low blow, to say the least.

Even to me. And I’ve had a few of them myself, in this life. I survived. I just wondered if she will. Survive, that is.

The usual caveats apply: public knowledge only preferred.  
thanks much in advance for your kindness.

Sincerely,

dee ahn ;j

Her statement. “I have lung cancer.”
