    Default Bad news and upset

    For the last several months, my youngest sister hasn't been feeling all that great.

    Last night, I received a phone call from my mother, (whom I am not all that close to) who was in hysterics and she informed me that my sister, who is 25 ,has two large masses on her lungs. One the size of a football and the other one a little bit larger. I knew she was going to the doctor yesterday due to some issues she had been having but this came as a huge blow.

    In conjunction with the masses that they found, her lymph nodes are incredibly swollen and the doctors are pretty certain that she has Lymphoma.

    I'm devestated as my sister and I are very close, and when I phoned her this morning, she is obviously in a state of shock. She told me "its no big thing".

    I'm spending most of my day myself going between crying spells and anger spells. I guess that's pretty normal. My sister and I have always been very very close and this is a big blow to me.

    My sister lives 9 hours away and will be undergoing a bioposy sometime this week, we will know more on Monday. In the meantime, I am dealing with my mom who is yelling at me (Remember, I have a mom that is hard to deal with) my father who is pretty much absent and has been for many years (who when I phoned him this morning to tell him this news was "too busy" to talk but would try and phone me back... WTF???).

    Anyways, I was reading on web M.D. this morning and this doesn't look good for her. I am just at a loss as to what I can do for her, I obviously need to be there, but dealing with my mom is such a huge issue and always has been.

    Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent a bit.

    Why do some people still have to fight...to get the same opportunities...that are given to others??...

    Look out for self...because noone else will...AND
    The greatest revenge in the world...is success...

    Reclusivness...is a good thing.

    Gynger, I am so sorry. Thats terrible. I'll say a few prayers and hope for the best.
    My aunt had a few tumors under her arms a few years ago and they thought it was lymphoma. But it turned out to be ok.
    I realllllly hope this is the case for your sister, Gynger.

    Oh Gynger, I'm so sorry sweetheart. I remember when my sister went through her cervical cancer scare a couple years back. I couldn't even bear the thought of losing her. Luckily, it turned out to be just that. A scare. But it was a definite eye-opener and made us more aware of things. She's fine now, sans a part of her cervix which was removed during several biopsies.

    I'm glad that your sister doesn't have to go through this alone. She has you. It makes a big difference in someone going through this when they have an incredible amount of support.

    Please keep us updated. I'll light a candle for your sister tonight, and I'll keep both of you in my thoughts.
    As always, if you need me, I'm here.

    Much Love & Many Hugs,
    ~Rhi~

    Yeah, Gynger. I kinda know how you feel. Someone in my family (who is very close to my son) has a bad case of ovarian cancer. It's got fingers wrapping around her lower intestines so they can't take it out. I dunno. Usually means not too much longer to live.

    Life is hard sometimes. Sorry to hear this, though. If you want to chit-chat you have my email. I'll download any messenger proggy you want. I suppose if you really need it i'll PM you my phone number.

    Oh, Gynger!! I am so sorry to hear that. However, I would have to say that you really shouldn't be going to webMD and trying to diagnose her symptoms. Symptoms could be common in soooooo many illnesses, so don't get all upset about it until you know (her biopsy is confirmed). I know that it's hard to do, but I think you would feel better not reading all of the horrible things it COULD be.

    I will definitely keep you in my thoughts. As hard as your mom is to deal with, just focus on your sister...

    All my love and hugs,
    Venus
