AN UPDATE .... to those of you who might have read this thread before ...
.... I have had the happiest of tears in my eyes since last night as my 27yr old SIL rang me last night to give us the greatest news that after finishing her 5 rounds of chemo ... SHE IS IN THE ALL CLEAR ... NO MORE CANCER
She won't even need surgery ... HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT
She will be of course monitored & be on hormonal treatment for sometime !!
... NOW the sad news ... my own older sister (she's 51, married with a 13yr old son) found out last month she has breast cancer. She had surgery to remove the lump last month & they discovered another lump which was removed 2wks later after the 1st surgery.
She will be having chemo & then radiotherapy soon ( & then hormonal treatment).
The Doc's said they are going to give it a super blast with the strongest dose of chemo ... & no stone is left unturned.
The Doc's are hopeful cause she only had a mamogram 2mths before & they consider 51 to be young. Also if you have your period still at this age it's a bonus so she can have the hormonal treatment too.
We had a get together at my parents this past weekend. She wanted them to see she is ok. As any parents they are stressing. As my Mum said even though she is 51 she is still her baby.
My sister is nuts about my 2yr old daughter Cendrine. Bummer is I live 4.5hrs away from my sister so I promised her if she needs a "Cendrine Fix" I will bring her to her. My sister loved that idea
So, I would love to think the Chinese Wishing Pot I gave my SIL helped... Reckon I'm gonna get one for my sister too.
PLEASE send positive & warm thoughts for my sister ... & big ' fingers crossed ' for her now that she continues her journey
LIFE can be so testing ... a wonderful ending to my SIL journey ... and then a journey like this begins for my very own sister.
I need all the encouragement I can get to repeat the same energy I can to help my own sister as I did for my SIL
THANK YOU so very much for getting this far in reading this
