Cruel but true, if you know will die tomorrow you will stop fighting and wait for the end. So you better fight for another day. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.

Yes, indeed. It is too easy to get caught up in a rat's nest of insignificant perceived faults in others. I know it sounds trite but, just let it go and be grateful for the blessings surrounding us.

All the bets, Yard.

"Cancer" of any sort is a horrible word to hear, I really like the back and forth between Yolonda and the doctor here as they try to explain and except the truth, and then the ending "Days before you" very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Thank you, Kahpot. I am pleased you liked it. Yolonda is like a lot of people; self absorbed and self important. The doctor is trying to help her stay healthy by addressing her egotism with what appears to be a subtle treatment.
However, people like Yolonda, very rarely accept a kid glove treatment. Instead, he wakes her up with the sledge hammer of truth.
