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.
