On July 17th, after much pushing from me, Marcie went to see her nurse practitioner for a cough that wasn’t resolving. Late that afternoon her provider called and told us her CT Scan showed stage 4, metastatic, lung cancer. On the  morning of July 28th, she passed away, with one last easy breath. She was in our living room with our two children and her sisters present. Yes, you read that correctly, eleven days from diagnosis to her death.
