Nope - just taking off for a pre-scheduled trip to Glacier, Montana with the in-laws. (No accounting for taste.) Given the circumstances, he's not interested in delaying the trip and one more week probably won't make a difference.

Fear not, the Zobrists are a well-educated, mostly rational clan. Hell's bells - we collect cancers like ... something that collects a lot. Apparently my grandmother had discussions with a mayo clinic at some point, because family cancer clusters are common, but family cancer clusters where the cancers are all different is another story.

So confession - this is part of why I'm so terrified. Everyone in the family gets cancer. I've always assumed I would too, eventually. But my brother - no one's ever had it this young. I worry for him, but I also worry for me.
