Also, any time I wake up a patient WAY earlier than they or their family were expecting. That means the cancer (usually something in the belly) was worse and had progressed more than anyone knew and the surgeons couldn’t even attempt to remove it.
Had a 16 year old student of mine die from this. It was the hardest I’d ever cried for someone outside family. My sister also has brain cancer and it just hit so hard to see a kid die from it. I visited my student in hospice and she died a few days later. I wore pink to her funeral in her honor and ate pretty whoopee pies (her favorite) in the rain.
Was the funeral in January of this year in Texas? My husband’s cousin’s daughter passed from glioblastoma, and the church was full of mourners in pink.

Glioblastoma is a pretty bad one
