and your little prayer. It's good to hear that your wife has been in remission for over five years.

The situation with her is hard, because she's been estranged from much of the family -- her mother, myself sister, most especially -- and I, her only aunt, am caught in the middle. I have read that the prognosis for the disease has
greatly improved over the years, and that about 70 percent of people now have a survival rate of 5 plus years. My niece, however, is VERY panicky,
about it, and keeps berating us about how we "don't care that she's dying". Given that we have no direct access to her doctor, we're not sure what to believe as she is given to exaggeration.

Thanks again for listening.
