Hi everyone,

On my way home from work I heard that my sister found a lump in her breast. She went to a Doctor and the Doc found a lump in her lymph node too. They need to operate immediately to remove both. I really hope she does not have cancer. From what I heard, having it in your lymph node is very bad. Please keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers.

I really hope this is just nothing. For all those out there that have survived cancer.... your strength amazes me.

    Sincere thank yous sent back to you guys. My sister had her 2nd child less than a year ago.... my hope is that the lumps are hormone-related. But, one can never know with this stuff. I also hate cancer. :(

    An ex of mine bounced back from lymph cancer amazingly enough. We lived in different states when she went through it, and I didn't get to see her until she had made it to the latter stages of recovery, but she apparently had to put up quite a fight. I hope the best for your sister.

    Hey...

    I will be thinking of your sister. Did they do a biopsy?

    I am hoping that this is pregnancy-related, but I do want to let you know that although breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes is not a good thing, it is still very treatable!!!

    PM me if you have questions, or if your sister does. I would be happy to talk to her, too. :)

    Chin up.
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    She's going to be fine, and I'll say a prayer before I go to bed. My mom survived cancer and even though I was too young to remember it, she tells me how hard of a battle it was...not something anyone but the vilest low lives on the planet should have to endure.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    good luck dude and prayers to your sister. it's a kick in the gut when a family member has it because you feel helpless because other than emotional support there is not a damn thing to do - it sucks for sure. hope she is well.

    Unfortunately, I just found out from my brother over lunch that it is cancer. It seems that it is breast cancer that spread to her lymph node.

    If anyone has advice on how to be a good friend/brother/ect. to someone with cancer. What to say,.... What not to say... whether to cry... whether not to cry. I just feel awful. I love my sister with every part of me. She's been there for me whenever I needed her... I want to do the same.

    I'm sorry to hear this. I just went through this with my grandmother. Not sure of your sister's age but I'm going to guess she's young enough to go through chemo and wipe out the cancerous cells. Make sure they do an MRI/CT Scan to determine specifically where it is and then to wipe it out with the chemo. There is always hope. My father, who had colon cancer and is probably older than your sister, lost a lot of weight with the chemo but survived and is fine today, back at his 225 normal weight. She will survive.

    fuck :(


    the most important thing is to always be positive....not just you but your sister too....the day my mom was told she had stage 4 and had maybe 2 years to live, the first thing she said was "ok so 2 to 5 years"....from my experience with my mom and my best friend, the best thing i could do for them was to stay positive and inject humor whenever possible....if you get bad news, try to turn it to a positive....if you sister seems down (which she will be of course) try to make her laugh....

    stay strong

    good advice.


    also, just be 'normal'....hang, talk, etc...just as you always would. although it's also nice to be a little extra nice. i know when my sis was diagnosed it weighed so heavily on my mind. we talked a lot, went out for dinner/drinks....talked more.....really let it out. i burned and mailed her a couple CDS, wrote her a couple notes....and i know once she was in the clear, she told me just how much those 'little things' meant to her and helped.


    just be.....you. :)


    it's a long road, but i wish your sister a FULL recovery and ALL the BEST! be strong!
    Stay with me...
