My aunt (RIP) was doing very bad with cancer. A couple years ago after her initial diagnosis with breast cancer it reached her spine and she developed severe scoliosis and couldnt even sit down in many places. When her hair had grown back after the chemo she began to decline again and by a few months ago it had spread to her liver and bone marrow. She was falling into very poor health and after another growth was found in her breast she was preparing for another round of chemo.
However her hemoglobin levels had dropped to a very low level, causing her to collapse and be taken into hospital. She left hospital ok and seemed much better, almost as if her health was going to go uphill. Her chemo was still scheduled to begin very soon. That was when her hemoglobin levels dropped again, causing her to be rushed into hospital again. It was then that she received some very bad news. She was in such bad health that the chemo would kill her and she could not go ahead. The doctor said she had 3 months to live.
Unfortunately only 1 week later she passed away.
RIP auntie, I always loved you
