I've always felt that she stayed with John so that her children would have a father when she is gone. But right now I think the anger she is feeling may be doing her mind, body and spirit more damage then the cancer. No one can predict the future, even with a cancer diagnosis, but surely she could claim her happiness by not allowing her marriage to make her a victim any longer while still maintaining close contact for her children with their father? Women over 50 have learned we are not only responsible for our happiness, but more importantly, our unhappiness. Hard to walk in her shoes.

She may be brave, but it paints her as a shrew. It's sad for her that she has such anger. That's what I was trying to convey. Geri Hi Debbi,

Yes, John is a bum. But, Elizabeth has had a rough go with her breast cancer battle. She still has two young children and will not have the gift of a long life. Who knows how much this factors into her choices. I think she is so brave. I wont judge her. Best, Debbi Geri,
