Jacqueline (Krebs) Broderick is very ill, her sister Marcia Hill reports. She was having trouble using her left hand, and it was thought that she might have had a stroke. A brain scan, however, showed brain cancer. Her lung cancer of ten years ago had metastasized there. She was given ten radiation treatments and was told she has one to three months to live. This was about a month ago. She has been going downhill rapidly and has moved to the extended care unit at Friendship Village in Columbus. The prognosis is not good.
Her daughter, Barb, works for the alcohol and drug use department for the State of Ohio and they have given her a laptop computer so she can do her work from Jackie's bedside.
Jackie is the daughter of the late Winifred (Liggett) and Lloyd Krebs. She was very good at paying attention to her aunt, the late Mary Ong, by going places with her.
Barb will keep Marcia posted.
