About Maureen: My sister , Meg, was the best friend you could ask for. She loved shopping and going to New York and San Francisco. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her 50s and underwent massive chemo and radiation. She suffered through it without complaining but what she really hated was being bald and wearing a wig. Eleven years later her cancer metastasised and after four years of drugs, she succombed to the disease. During this time, she felt that God had deserted her and she had tremendous anger. Before her death she regained her faith and had the last rites. more... less...

Maureen's Memories

Meg was still living when I was diagnosed with cancer. She researched the type of cancer I had and always cheered me on while she knew she was dying. One of her favorite lines was, "There are always options." This suited her because in general she was an upbeat and optimistic person. But breast cancer was too much for her. And then she ran out of options.
