This past Monday my sister's fiance had an emergency surgery for adult intussusception, which was quite scary and bad. My very best friend in the world (besides Brad) found out late last week that she has cervical cancer, which is quite scary and bad. And then today, following a successful surgery and recovering nicely, my sister's fiance was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, which is quite scary and bad. We're mostly waiting to find out next steps and gathering information and scheduling series of tests -- but needless to say it has been a really tough day today.
