I got to work today and learned that our department head had just died unexpectedly. She had beat colon cancer 2 years ago and then was diagnosed with leukemia --caused by the previous radiation--about a month ago.
However, the doctors found a medication that was killing the cancer and they sent her home. Unfortunately, she died suddenly there... they said it was either a blood clot or a sudden attack of meningitis, doesn't matter much anymore which it was, I guess.
She was supposed to come back this summer and be teaching with us again. She was only in her fifties, well known in her field, and loved by all--how many people do you know who just adore their boss? We all did.
IT ISN'T FAIR.
