My sister has breast cancer

PattyInAK · December 08, 2007, 01:15:32 PM

Please say an extra prayer for my sister who just found out she has breast cancer. They found a lump, and its small, they think they caught it early. She's been through all the second opinions, MRIs and biopsies. She has some good doctors and they will decide on the best course of action soon. She has a good attitude.

I am so sorry. I will definately say a prayer for her.

It sounds positive that they caught it early. And a good attitude makes such a difference in with recover, I believe.

I am sad to hear about your sister. It does sound like they caught it early :apls: That is very good! The earlier the better.

Will keep her in my prayers.

rays her way. catching it early is great. my mom is a 2 time survivor. thoughts with both of you.

I had a great aunt that got it twice and survived it both times. Catching it early usually makes it very treatable.

Sending rays to your sister.

Positive thoughts and prayers to your sis, Patty. Early detection is the key!

Oh no Patty - rays and prayers on the way. What is the next step? Please keep us posted - I can't remember - is it Joanie or Carol?

Its Joanie (Carol's twin). She also has MS, but you'd never know it, she takes her shots and medication and doesn't talk about it or complain about it.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Rays and prayers headed her way.

Oh no Patty! It sounds very good that it was caught so early but the C word is always scary nonetheless. I hope the treatment will be as minimal as possible I'm glad she has a good attitude. Will keep you all in my prayers.

Frankys_mom · December 08, 2007, 11:10:29 PM

Sending lots of rays and strength your way! She can beat this!!
We will add you both to our prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear this also Patty...but like everyone says, Early Detection is the Key. Many prayers to you, your sister and entire family at this time. Don't worry, yes, she can beat this!!

PattyInAK · December 09, 2007, 09:29:19 AM

Thanks everyone! I, too, feel that she will beat this.

Beth · December 09, 2007, 04:16:13 PM

Patty,

I am sending rays and prayers to your sister and you. Wow, that's tough. But she has a strong support system in her family. I didn't know that you had twin sisters. Being a twin myself, I can only imagine how both of them are dealing with this. Are they close? If they are, I'm sure they're leaning on each other. Prayers to all of you.

Hi Beth, yes I have 4 sisters and two of them are twins. They are very close, they tell each other all the important stuff before they tell the rest of the family. They are 50 years old, 2.5 years younger than me. Is your twin a boy or a girl?

TerriL · December 10, 2007, 04:20:21 PM

I am so sorry to hear this news Patty. Thank goodness that they caught this early. Please let us know how she is doing...I'll be praying for her and your whole family!

MyLittleBoo · December 10, 2007, 05:50:05 PM

So sorry, Patty... You will all be in my prayers.... Hugs & rays coming from Idaho....

Beth · December 11, 2007, 01:35:22 PM

Patty,

I have a twin sister. We are very close, even though she lives in Chicago, IL and I live in Columbus, OH. It's very hard being so far apart. But we try and visit as much as we can and we talk on the phone and email. When I was pregnant with Lara, she was my coach since DH was in Iraq. She was also with me every step of the way when I had to have an amniocentesis done because the doctor was certain that Lara had a genetic defect. I don't know what I would have done if my sister wouldn't have been there for me.
