I had a friend that passed away 3 weeks ago. For the last 3 years, she kept a secret from her husband , she was a teacher and researched her symptoms , she knew it was serious , so she started eating healthy and exercising . Her husband knew something was up, but not sure what. Time and time again he would question her diet, her answer was simple enough , "just trying to be healthy " was all she'd say. So they bought a motor home and traveled across Canada , all the while he had no idea how sick she really was. One day, he asked about walk in clinics because they had no family doctor . He needed to get her to a doctor because something just wasn't right, she prevailed and finally went to see a doctor . The doctor knew her symptoms and immediately booked her for surgery . Turns out, she had colon cancer , they gave her 6 months to a year, after they opened her up, it had spread to her liver, stage 4 cancer, and there was nothing thay could do. They then gave her 3 to 6 months. After being in the hospital for 4 days , they then sent her home. She died peacefully within a week . Moral of this story is don't keep things from your loved ones, secrets only cause heartache and pain. RIP my friend, you certainly did make your mark on the world and alot of people's hearts.....
