Ken is the second 30-something carrier in my office to die of cancer in the last two years. He was diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago. Either his liver or his colon, I can't recall. It kept spreading despite aggressive chemotherapy. Finally showed up in his brain in June, and he died July 4th. Ken was 38, a young 38. More teenager than adult. Survived by his wife and his parents, no kids. Martin was the other carrier, he was only 32, and had a wife and two young children. A very quiet man, very nice to everyone. He had abdominal pain, thought it might be kidney stones, but it was stomach cancer. He died in slightly more than six months. Needless to say, this has the office kind of spooked, even though I can't imagine any connection to the work we do. One of the clerks keeps claiming the office must have been built on an Indian burial ground. I think he has himself half convinced.
