Breast Cancer ???

[smiles4u]

I sadly & heartbreakingly found out tonight (Sat) that my 27yrs old sister-in-law has breast cancer

... And my DP family had not told us until tonight, they thought we already knew as my sis-in-law had found out two weeks ago that she has it & had already started chemotherapy this week.

We were in shock with the news BUT also because of the lack of communication in DP family

... He had spoken to his Father tonight & he mentioned nothing of it. It wasn't until DP was speaking to his Mother that she said had we heard of the news. My DP can't believe that his own brother did not ring him to tell him of his wife's illness.

But he admits that his brother is just like that, doesn't talk about things & bottles it up

ANYWAY, my question is Does anyone know what she is going through with the chemo. What effect will it take on her ? We heard tonight that she was going to try for her 1st baby this year BUT has now been told she has to wait 5yrs before trying as she is now having chemo. Does that sound right ?

I myself went through a breast cancer scare in my early 30's but luckily I got it in time & had no chemo.

I'm trying to get an understanding of my sis-in-law situation. We are not close BUT that doesn't mean I don't care about her.

Hard part is my DP sister is due to have her 1st baby this month & I can't imagine how hard this is on my ill sis-in-law.

I hope someone out there can give me with some insight, especially inregards to the chemo treatment.

Thank you inadvance to anyone that can help me understand of what she may possibly be going through
