A little sleepy post-lunch and early afternoon.

My husband just felt some cramping in his stomach area after a work out. It came and went over the course of a few months - it took him 5 months to go get an endoscopy because it wasn’t that bad or frequent. At that point it was far too late. The cramping was caused by a “gargantuan bleeding tumor” (in the words of the doctor). He had a whipple the next month, followed by 3 years of intense chemo and other unpleasantness before he passed away. The doctor originally gave him 12-18 months.

Grandma had pancreatic cancer decades ago. Caught it randomly from another procedure- idk what as I wasn't alive then.
She just turned 86.

I think you mean detected? I did a double-take at the word caught.

Cancer scares the fuck out of me. I always think I'm going to die in my 70s or 80s. Eh, kids can get cancer. If something else doesn't kill me, I'll get it eventually. Might have it now and not know.
Fuck, I have good insurance. I'm going to start getting full workups on a regular basis.
