My sister in law starts radiation treatments tomorrow. She's at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia. They had originally told her they didn't have a space, then called her Sunday and told her to get her little hiney there.

She's had a whole array of tests, they still aren't sure exactly what kind of cancer she has. PET scan showed cancer in her ovaries, lymph nodes around her intestines and behind her stomach, in her brain. One of her lymph nodes is 9cm. They are now saying it didn't get caught early like they thought. This may be good, it may be bad. It's metastasized, but not a fast growing, rapidly spreading cancer like they'd thought.

She's got radiation treatments tomorrow through Friday, going home for the weekend, treatments all week next week, home again, then treatments the week after. They cannot operation until they can get the pressure off her brain because it's too dangerous to put her under with a general, so they cannot biopsy yet.

I am beginning to worry that the prognosis may not be as good as we'd hoped, though I certainly refuse to say so to her. She's scared silly as it is. She's worried about her husband, she's worried about her two young children, she's worried about her Mom, who simply isn't handling the situation well and is having trouble grasping the reality that her baby has cancer and may well die.

Prayers, please, for her, the docs, and the family. I'd hate for her to kick off... I like her.

I know the feeling, My aunt had breast cancer, which then went to her tail bone, now her 12th rib and liver. She was given 5 years the last time, Looking like less than a year now with the liver cancer. The cancer in the ruib and liver was not there 4 months ago.

well I gave up on the laptop and am in the basement on the desktop.

Got a virus and the laptop is running slower than my mother and that's pretty damn slow.

Congrats.
Gold looks good on you.
People who create viruses need to be neutered.
