All:
I am creating this thread for updates about Jan's health and for our words to Rich, Jan, and Angelique.
Please use this thread so we can preserve this.
I am copying and pasting what has been said so far. There is quite a bit, and I might miss something - if you notice that I have done so, go ahead and post it here yourself, or let me know.

My Dearest S’cubes, I am very sorry to have to tell you that my sweetheart Jan is in the hospital. She has been there since Monday before last. For the last few weeks she had growing weakness and pain which we thought was due to a pinched nerve in her back. Her doctor told her she had to “ride it out”. But as time passed she continued to deteriorate: more pain, increased weakness, less ability. Finally things got so bad she was unable to stand. We called the EMTs and took her to the hospital with the idea of getting her better pain management. What we got instead was a diagnosis of cancer: undifferentiated carcinoma, stage four. It is very aggressive and fast moving. My Sweetie is dying. We think she has three months, probably less. Please pray for us.

Oh, no. I'm so very sorry. Tell Jan I love her and am wishing for the best for her, whatever that entails. And the same goes for you, Rich. Be easy with yourself as much as you can. We're here when you need us. Shit.

Oh! Rich. There are no words to express how awful I feel about hearing this news. My heart and prayers go out to you and Jan. She is the sweetest of the sweet and there is no justice in the world sometimes. Much love to both of you.
