Originally posted by yo its meMy oldest sister has been on chemo since March. Now it may have spread to one lung. I can bear the thought of losing her more than I can of her suffering. She has always been an angel....she was like my little mother because our mom was so burdened with tending a beridden mother-in-law from the time I was only 5 months old. She is 8 years older than I and there are two other sisters in between us. But I have not seen any of them for nearly 8 years. Bad health, distance, and the cost of travel. This has been a bad few days for me. We will know tomorrow if it has spread.
Sorry for your loss Evey. I agree with you and Evil666 that energy dosen't die, only transforms. That's how it works with the sun, trees-coal-heat-dispersed. I also agree with divegeester becasue Jesus's words make sense to me.
I've never lost someone I was close to it's much sadder when it's someone you should be close to but aren't. The funeral was full ...[text shortened]... he was never poor or starving. Then my friends doughter died and I had nothing to say.

Originally posted by PalynkaAppreciated. She is at the cancer clinic right now. Supposed to start a stronger kind of chemo today if she can tolerate it. I have a lot of faith, but I can't think about her without tearing up. I will let everyone know the outcome. I just wish it was me and not her. I am not half the person she is in all the good attributes and strength of character. This hurts.
Good luck, ale...

You make great points. Yes, my Mother did have a long, full life...and I'm trying to focus on that. But it's so difficult. This weekend, I'm going up to go through more of her belongings...sigh.
Again, thank you for your comments. 🙂
Originally posted by ale1552UPDATE: It took another week of waiting but the news was good! My sister's cancer is contained and did not spread to her right lung which does have fluid on it. She had surgery for ovarian cancer February 5, 2008 and has been on chemo for a year. The stronger kind will be for only one more infusion on Monday before more tests are done. The cancer had spread beyond where they could remove it, but most of it was removed when they did a complete hysterectomy. She is weaker and more nauseated right now but doing much better than expected. I ask for prayer from those of you of faith. Thank you.
