Breaking point

Just when you think you've had all the bad news you can handle, there always seems to be something else to add to the pile.  Last night we found out that Batty's best friend's boyfriend has been diagnosed with cancer.

You like to go through your young years thinking that people your age are too young to get cancer.  Then someone little gets leukemia or something and that little illusion gets blown away.

Then you go through your teenage/young adult years thinking you're too young for cancer.  But no.  Apparently no one's too young. 

Word has it that our friend's doctors are confident of a full recovery which is a glimmer of good news.

Our thoughts are with both of them.  As Batty said this morning, we'd like a refund on May please.
