Kenna Morton's Journal, 06 May 22

I have written often about my WONDERFUL neighbors who I just adore— East Indian by birth and culture but grew up in Kenya, South Africa. The husband developed a cold and cough a couple of weeks ago and ended up in the hospital last weekend. It turns out he has stage 4 Lymphoma that is very aggressive. The prognosis is very poor even with treatment. We are all devastated. The son and his wife are both medical doctors and the daughter is a professor of psychology back east. My friend is unable to fly and has chosen to fight this out here in California. I’m not sure that is the best thing but elaborate plans for medical support for them are being put in place. Cherish every day, do what you can to promote your best chances for good health. There are no guarantees.

Just to say something - sorry to hear that - I am always surprised at how quickly - often in only one day - life can turn around.

Thank you all for the support. Their kids are doing an amazing job. I have known them since they were in high school. He has a business to be shut down, houses to be sold in India and so much more. . His wife, although much younger than me, does not even drive as is not uncommon in that culture. Some challenges ahead, but first to get his medical care and chemo appt. Going.
