Who Has Time?

My neighbor has breast cancer.  She is in the early throes of what is going to happen.  So all I know for right now is she has it.  When Dave told me he said she had been sweeping it under the rug hoping it would go away and not going to the doctor.  Just an initial thing.  This isn't his opinion, just the way it was told to him.  And my reaction is "of course".  Who has time to be sick?  She works full time and is full time caretaker of her granddaughter.  She has a husband who has had several different jobs in the time we have been neighbors, so not a great stable place.  And on.  Her life is similar to mine in many ways.  So I can see how she swept it under the rug for awhile.  There is no time for aches and twinges and things in the routine that throw the whole thing off.
We will keep our fingers crossed that it all works out for her and her family.
