Sister Watch 2007

So, my sister had a consultation this afternoon at the specialists and the news is not great.

They gave her oestrogen and told her that she should have been on that right when she was diagnosed. They're hoping that's going to shrink it, but they're not overly optimistic as most women who have reoccurring cases end up having hysterectomies. The tumor is growing quikcer than expected and has hooked onto her intestine, which is bad. Whether or not she's healthy enough for that is a whole other discussion, and the best course of action would be that new type of radiation, but that would cost us upwards of $40,000, which we don't have, obviously. So, for now we wait and see, and Ann tries like the dickens not to lose her medicare, plus they want her seeing the pulmonologist because her lungs sound terrible and that'll be a factor as to whether she's healthy enough for surgery. Oy vey. Life sucks sometimes.

Peace, Ghani

I honestly don't know what to say. This Frakkin' sucks so bad and you and your sister don't deserve this.

My heart goes out to you. Sending you some good vibes and hugs! Take Care!

Lots of *hugs*

I don't know what to say. I'll be thinking of you both, and I hope everything turns out OK.
