Got some good and some perhaps not yet good news on my sister [View all]

She is in her 4th round of cancer that started in her breasts. She's had a double mastectomy, hysterectomy and oophorectomy, but then the cancer spread to the nerve sheath at her spine, and there was some mets to her lungs. The good news is, the cervical tumor has shrunk and I'm praying she gets some of her mobility back. And the lung tumors have stabelized. The only less encouraging news is that the spots on her femur and pelvis have grown so they will try a new oral chemo and do another PET scan, in 3 months. Despite all of this, her bloodwork looks great.

So my biggest fear of losing my sister, in the far too near future, seems to have been calmed. Now, fingers crossed that this new chemo squashes those "bugs", as she refers to the "spots".
