Almost positive Chris has Bile duct cancer, (who knew you could get cancer in your bile duct??) If confirmed 100% it isn't pretty:
The disease is most prevalent in females older than age 60. It's rapidly progressive and usually fatal; patients seldom live a year after diagnosis. The poor prognosis is due to late diagnosis; gallbladder cancer isn't usually diagnosed until after cholecystectomy, when in many cases it's in an advanced, metastatic stage.
That part shocked me honestly. I figured she would drone on for awhile. She is officially sicker than my mom, and therefore off the hook with me being irriated that she has ignored mom for over 6 years. Although, I still don't understand that.
I;m not sure how I feel. Of course I'm upset, but I'm not freaking out. Maybe it hasn't sunk in yet, or maybe I'm just tooo busy with mom and kids and a crazy cat that won't GET OUT OF MY CHAIR. She's making jokes. "Should I renew my zoo membership??" and tons of Seinfeld jokes.
Pray it goes fast and painless
