Dan Gilbert says he’s staying strong and putting on a brave face. It’s been tough.
The Lower Merion Township detective got bad news last April. His wife, Lauren Gilbert, at 42, was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer. She first went to the hospital for stomach pain.
“They took a 12-inch section of her colon, took out a very large tumor and took out some other cancer that had spread,” Dan Gilbert said. “It’s not good. It’s terminal.”
