I just saw Boseman in Da 5 Bloods. Had no idea he was filming between chemo treatments. Apparently he fought colon cancer for the last 4 years.

Sad.

I also really enjoyed his performance as Jackie Robinson, though the movie was a bit of old-fashioned hokum.

Listening to an odd pandemic novel, The End of October. It's set in present times, and Putin is a villain at the same time as the coronavirus that's killing off much of the world.

Chadwick Boseman has died at 43.

I was just checking to see if somone posted this sad news.  He was way too young to have colon cancer.

Sad.

Four years!  That means he was 38 when he was diagnosed  :(

I have been reading about the rise in colon cancer in younger people.  The age for testing has been dropped from 50 to 45 but these younger people mentioned seem to be in their 30s.  The young age is often a more aggressive cancer :(

Because of my father I was 49 when I had my first test and that was after avoiding it for two years.

R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman.  Boy, that illness was a closely guarded secret!

Today I spoke to my sister.  I told her how I felt.  I laid it on the line.  And that was going to be it for now.

That was fine until she called tonight to tell me her hubby was having emergency surgery tomorrow morning.

The doctor called him at home at 5:45 this evening to tell him that the veins in his leg are 100% blocked.

The doctor was willing to assemble his staff on a Friday night to do the surgery this evening, but he refused (IDIOT!).
