2. Chronology
It’s strange to think that this journey with my Aunt V. and my family started just two weeks
ago. It feels like months...and I don’t know when or how this will all end.
Well, I have some idea of how this will end. V. does have stage four liver bile duct cancer,
after all. It’s an aggressive cancer, and also inoperable. With chemotherapy, her doctors
give her six months or so to live. Without chemo, they don’t expect her to last the year.
When I first found out, I looked online for books and resources for family members of
a person facing this type of cancer. Note to self: don’t look that stuff up on the internet
any more...it’s depressing, and doesn’t really prepare you for what you experience day-to-day.
So I’m sharing my own personal sketchnote journal here with you, week by week, in the hope
that someone may find it helpful...that someone may realize that they aren’t crazy or the
only one feeling like this as they get to face their own family cancer from the sidelines.
