+1 to this. My sister was diagnosed with Stage 3 brain cancer several years ago. As cancers go, it is one of the hardest to deal with -- other cancers you can try to remove portions of the organ, but the brain doesn't lend itself well to taking pieces of it out. Thankfully, after surgery and several years of treatment, she is showing no more signs of it. Nothing but admiration for Hill and that lady who moved to Oregon. And kudos to the NCAA for allowing this game to be played a couple weeks earlier than it was originally scheduled.

The other brain cancer girl killed herself today. No comment on that really. She felt she needed to do what she needed.

It was nice to see. She was happy.

I think both of these women have glioblastomas, which is basically a death sentence. That's how my mom's oncologist made it seem when they diagnosed her brain tumor last year. The conversation went something like "Just be grateful it isn't a glioblastoma. You'd be gone in 3-6 months."
