Any comforting reads on the problem of evil?

Cancer sucks.

Longtime friend and practically my sister, with four young children, one still breastfeeding. She lives in Italy but brings her family over every summer. We help host college exchange students she teaches ESL.

As we were coordinating the pick up and drop off of a recent exchange stay, she had increasing stomach pain and check into UCSF. I suggested in humor it was our terrible american food loaded with preservatives.

24 hours later: stage four pancreatic cancer.

38 years old. Just three weeks earlier, we were all partying at our high school reunion.

An absolute beautiful soul and gorgeous girl, now wonderful mother... my friend is dying on the inside.

I appreciate any prayers. Doctors are currently determining approvals for clinical trials. Good news is UCSF is the best place for treatment.
