November 20, 2008 Email from Phil Gustavson re Nancy Gustavson illness
Nancy is having a bout with Cancer in her lungs and spread a bit. She reports she is undergoing chemotherapy in Seattle (Miriam may be in contact). She says she is tolerating the chemicals ok, but the second treatment yesterday took five hours.
She’s being pretty low-key about it but I think it is pretty bad from what she has told me and my research. She will need lots of prayers and a miracle or two.
Jerry is there and back to Sitka, leaving her to fend, i.e. get bored. Lesley has sent books. Treatment is at Swedish Hospital, and she is staying at a residence hotel nearby. I think she said there will be several “three-week”treatments over several months, so lots of opportunity for her to visit/stay with Miriam maybe.
