Friend of mine went into the hospital today to get a tumor removed from her cerebellum. The surgery was a success, but...turns out she has anaplastic astrocytoma, WHO grade III. Brain cancer. This cancer metastasizes easily to nearby healthy cells; all surgery does is remove what growths they can to ease the pressure. Radiation or chemo is next, but prognosis is 2-5 years.
She's a single mother with a 1 year old (her now ex-husband weirdly tried to steal the kid, which is how she became single). She's an online friend via EverQuest, but one I've actually met and known for a good 7 years. A good gal, doesn't deserve this shit.
So in a few hours I leave for DragonCon, best weekend of the year, something I've looked forward to for months. This time, though, it just won't be the same. Fuck.
