My cousin Carrie's Story: She had been ill for such a long time but wouldn't see the doctor because she didn't want to add her family's financial burden so she waited to go until she was so sick she had to. She was seen on a monday, then sent to the hospital for further testing and admitted. Her diagnosis was stage four lung cancer, she was dead by the following monday. I am an only child she was the closest thing I had to a sister, we grew up together and planned on growing old together, I feel so alone now.
