I found this article touching... Can't deny the nurse within even at death's door

"My mother stopped trying to find herself when the tumor in her brain spilled from one hemisphere into the other, pushing the midline to one side like an unexpected bend in an arrow-straight road.
"They're on the move," she told me over the phone from the hospital the night she was diagnosed. "They're marching through." I suppose that in her drug-induced haze she meant the tumor cells were like soldiers advancing, leaving rubble in their path. It was the night before Thanksgiving, and after that she forgot where she was going."
