A friend lost her fight with ovarian cancer

Late Tuesday my cell rang at work. It was the daughter of my friend Cynthia Foster, who I often saw at the Outpatient Clinic at Weinberg. We were on similar chemo schedules. About a month ago her daughter came into the OPC and told me and several of the nurses that Cynthia was in the hospital at Mercy. I gave Cynthia's daughter, also a nurse, my cell number and e-mail address to keep me posted on how Cynthia was doing. Cynthia passed away Tuesday at home in Perryville after a 4-year battle with ovarian cancer. I wasn't expecting it. She frequently had to go into the hospital to have a stent replaced in her intestine but I thought she was stable as far as the cancer was concerned. Her death really blew me away. What a lovely lady. So please give those you love a special hug in her honor.
