I leave tomorrow morning. News from my other sister is very negative. Very. I won't get into details, but it will be a small miracle if Syndi can even attend her daughter's wedding this Sunday.
I gotta get some sleep for the journey tomorrow, but it's not going to be easy. |

Hang in there pal. I know it's not easy. I have my own battle still ongoing with the monster called cancer, and I lost my mom to uterine/ovarian when I was 10. I have a VERY Busy weekend, but I'll surely be keeping you and your whole family in my thoughts.

Here's an update:
I was shocked to see my sister. She is very ill. Obviously cancer is a serious illness, but I mean that the disease has already taken a tremendous toll on her. It was immediately clear that getting her to the wedding would be nearly impossible. But we did it! My nurse sister arrived on Thursday evening and basically acted as her private nurse for the next few days. I arrived on Friday, spent some time with her, then began my share of the many chores and organizational details to get her to her daughter's wedding. I won't get into details. But she made it with the help of a wheelchair and a golf cart, and managed to even stay (covered with blankets) for a few minutes of the post-wedding pre-reception cocktail party. The wedding itself could not have been more beautiful. Even the Pennsylvania weather played along. My niece was gorgeous! She was admitted to the hospital the following Monday morning, and the surgeon is trying to arrange an earlier date for surgery. My hopes are not high; but my trip was worth ten times the money I paid for it. Many thanks to those of you at the Café who encouraged me to go. Your encouragement indeed played a role in my decision to go, and the decision was the right one. Thanks again. |

I don't remember the last time any thread at the Café put such a smile on my face..... AND a lump in my throat at the same time. So happy for ALL involved that this wedding went so well.

The operation was this morning.
Bad news. Cancer has spread throughout her entire abdomen and is into her lungs. They removed her ovaries and a tumor, but the rest can only be removed by chemotherapy. Chemo is the only chance to save her now. Even had I stuck to the religion of my youth, there would still be only one thing to say: God's will be done. I'm numb. |

This is what my mother went through. She had the exact same surgery to the very same organs. They initially only gave her two weeks to live. She fought for more than two years before growing tired of doing the chemotherapy thing. She stopped treatments of her own volition.
She said, that at least the extra time allowed her to come to terms of acceptance and allowing us to do the same. You hang in there and show strength for those around you guy! They are looking to you for that positive and hopeful expectation of healing. Don'tcha' dare give up hope! |

Geez!
I'm just aware of this bad news because a search thru the MC search engine brought me there :-(. I wish her good luck. I hope someone can tamper her cards before the deal... |
