Mom Visited Uncles Yesterday

Mom went out yesterday and visited with two of my uncles (her brothers). Uncle Barrett has been having heart issues, recently had a pacemaker put in. Uncle Floyd was recently diagnosed with cancer of the spine. Mom says Uncle Floyd is looking bad, and has lost a lot of weight, down to around 120 pounds. He was never very big to begin with. He is refusing to get chemotherapy.

She has already lost two other brothers due to cancer and heart issues. She was diagnosed with breast cancer back in the early 1990's, but survived it since they caught it early, after a single mastectomy. She is the oldest out of her siblings.
