Oma got a call from my uncle yesterday - first time he's talked to her since the beginning of July. Turns out my aunt is in the hospital in Toronto and she has just been diagnosed with cancer. All we know is it is some type of cancer of the eye - the same type that my Opa died of 17 years ago. Of course, Oma is quite upset and keeps asking my mom for details, but my mom doesn't know anything because all the information we have received has been from Oma. Doesn't he know giving a woman with dementia details is useless because she doesn't remember things from 30 seconds ago?!?!
So, my mom emailed my cousin to try to get some info. Needless to say, we are all pretty worried! Makes it worse that we don't know any details!

:( i hope that they have made significant improvements in this area in the last few years. Annette is too young to have to deal with this kind of thing.
sorry to hear the news :(
