My Husband Put My Sick Mother on an Air Mattress and Said He Made the Rules, but What I Did Next Changed Everything

I was not entirely correct about this.

Gabriel Bennett and I had been married for nine years when my mother’s diagnosis arrived.

Stage three breast cancer.

The oncologist was a woman named Dr. Reyes who had the quality of good oncologists, which is the quality of someone who delivers terrible news clearly and without excessive softening, because excessive softening suggests the information is too terrible to be held by the person receiving it, and Dr. Reyes understood that my mother was someone who could hold terrible information and who needed it straight.

She said: the survival rates at this stage with this treatment protocol are encouraging.
