I'll keep her in my prayers too. That's a lot of recovery time.

So sorry to hear about this! Let me know if I can do anything.

On a happier note - She ran off and got married on Cinco da mayo and never told anyone until Mother's day

My dad had lung cancer, he had the first tumor removed and they said that they got it all and he was great!! No chemo, No radiation.....2 years later, they find more, and he was eaten up with it. We often say that had they just done the chemo and radiation at first he very well may still be here with us today. The chemo and radiation will be hard, (all of us kids took turns riding up with dad to sit with him for the hours it took) but it will also allow you to keep your sister here with you.

...that's a great point and that's what everyone is focusing on. I know two people, an aunt and our plumber, who went through it and it beat the crap out of them, just miserable and they both say, with no hesitation, they'd do it again.

Prayers to both of y'all and your families and others that are affected by breast cancer

...she got her 'port' installed 10 days ago or so, drove her crazy, wanted to rip it out. Got used to it.

Last Thursday was first chemo and the reason I'm posting is it sounds like cancer treatment is getting a lot more human friendly!!! She says she feels like the flu without the fever; weird, not happy, but not near as bad as she thought. 1 down and three to go

Grandma went back into the hosp last weekend very sick again and now they found a spot on the right side of her lung, last spot was on the left.
