D17 told me today that W's bf (a woman) has pancreatic cancer, and that she is given 2 years to live. W has been close to bf especially since BD.
I texted W to let her know that d17 told me about bf's cancer, and that I hoped W was doing ok thru this. W deflected my concern and replied that this is a death sentence and that bf is terrified.
W's sister also went thru pancreatic cancer a few years ago, and was able to get thru this. I mentioned how this experience W has b/c of sister's cancer will be a good support for what her bf is going thru. I then again asked if W was holding up thru this. And W again did not respond to my q's about how she was doing.
