Sounds like she has had the run of test, which is a GOOD thing. You want to know everything vs. going into surgery blind and find out there where all the cancer is. Things don't happen as fast as you want them to...trust me...I wanted that cancer out, out now, and it was around a month later before they did the bilat. mastectomy. The die test will tell them quite a bit more information. I know how hard waiting is...but take one day at a time and you will get there. Support your sis along with your mom. They both need you. I'm sooo sorry that you live soo far away. I truely have no idea how hard that is. I am fortunate enough to live close to my mother. Take care and keep us update! I'm praying for you and your family!

Hi, again, thanks for all the prayers and support. Now they told mommy her left leg has cancer all the way down. I cried to sleep last night. Today I woke to a picture of my litter sister in the hospital bed. I CANT SEE THIS anymore. I dont want to remember her this way. Her skin has changed color, he eyes are sunken in, she is skin a bones, it is a horrible sight. I had NO clue all people with cancer suffer this way. It is just the same as AIDS it seems, it literally eat at your body until you have nothing left to hold on to but a skeleton. How dreadful a disease this is. Why must humans suffer so badly? Daddy died suddenly from a heart attack and while i still mourn his passing, I prefer that he went this way than to see them wither away to nothing. How sad and so hurtful to see your loved ones this way.

maybe I was niave and didnt really reasearch what cancer does to the body. It is truly sad to see really. My sister is too young to die but apparently we have no choice. It is just sad to watch them struggle and hold on to life when there is no quality of life left . I truly breaks my heart to see this and I can imagine my voluptous mother becominng this as well . God spare them please please

And yes, while I lived in that town and state my whole life. I just moved here 7 years ago and have only bee back when pappy died in jul 2005. So it is not like I can afford to jump on a plane each week. Its hard and sad and equally frightening.

i am thinking of you and will send up a prayer for you and family. you need to be strong now, and put yourself in a frame of mind to face this difficult thing. stage 4 cancer is terminal, but i think you already know that. patients can live for months, even years, but things are not generally operable then, and pain management becomes the focus of treatment. cancer is a wicked disease and it will be hard for you to witness what is happening to your mom and sister, but you have to be strong for them.

hang in there. you have some good people here thinking of you and praying for you.

Hon, my little sister is fading fast mommy on the other hand is sick with worry that she cant stop this, and also sick to nkow that is her faith. I can only imagine the HORROR in my mother's mind watching all this happen knowing she is next. It is truly the most cruel next to aids. I thank you all for your strong support. I love so far away and really do not have anyone to lean on so it is terribly hard, very hard.
