history: My boss has cancer, so I'm trying very hard to work extra to make things easier for her.  My boss was diagnosed with cancer earlier this summer. I've been trying very hard to work extra to make things easier for her. That is really kind of you_comma_ many people would not bother. I hope that she wins her battle. We are very confident she will! Thankfully they caught it early_comma_ but the treatment is just really difficult. Chemotherapy and radiation can really take their toll. There is a program through the cancer society that does a day of beauty with cancer patients. They give them a makeover_comma_ giftbags_comma_ wigs if needed.
current: That is wonderful! Luckily for her, because of her chemo site she won't loose her hair. 
next: That is excellent, and you are a truly giving person. I wish her the best.
