     "I shed about three tears in the hallway and
then said, 'Let's have lunch'", Dusty
recalled, when she was first diagnosed
with cancer. "My brother came, the
neighbors who brought me to town, my
secretary, my accountant. I had a really
good time - don't know why. That's the
spirit of my family, as if to say, 'Oh, to hell with it.'"

  "It was only when I came home one
night and saw my cat lying asleep that I
thought, 'Who's going to look after you?'
It was as if somebody had run a train
through me. I wept and wept and wept
because then I realized: It is you. It's
 you. Yes, it might kill you."
