Chemotherapy in the Long Run: Treatment for BC Mets

HI, I HOPE THIS EMAIL FINDS YOU FEELING BETTER. I READ YOUR STORY, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY , IT SADDENED ME, AND I THINK YOU ARE REALLY BRAVE.

MY SISTER WHO IS 62 WAS IN GOOD HEALTH , ACTIVE, QUIT SMOKING 20 YRS AGO,

AND WAS FOR THE MOST PART A HEALTHY PERSON.

HOWEVER., 2 MONTHS AGO SHE GOT THE UNFORTUNATE NEWS THAT SHE HAD COLON CANCER , AND THAT IT WAS INOPERABLE... FOUND A LARGE MASS, THAT SEEMS TO HAVE MESTASTISIZED AND SPREAD SOMEWHAT TO HER LIVER AND SOME LYMPH NODES... THEN THEY DID A BRAIN SCAN AND FOUND TWO SMALL MASSES., (WHICH THEY JUST DID RADIATION ON, TO REMOVE)... NOT SURE HOW THAT WENT., NOT YET ANYWAY.

SHE HAD JUST STARTED THE CHEMO., LAST MONTH, SO IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

THEY PUT A STENT IN FOR THAT.

(I DO NOT KNOW TO MUCH ON THIS SUBJECT., SO EXCUSE ME IF I GET CONFUSED ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS.)

IT IS REALLY JUST THE BEGGINING... AND I DO NOT REALLY KNOW THE PROGNOSIS., AND EITHER DOES SHE NOR HER HUSBAND AND SON..

THEY ARE IN CALIFORNIA NOW GETTING TREATMENTS., I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, NV.

SHE DOES NOT WANT ANY VISITORS AT THIS TIME. I CAN UNDERSTAND. IT IS JUST SO HARD FOR ME TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HER, WHEN SHE WANTS TO REALLY REMAIN PRIVATE ABOUT IT ALL....

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME ON THIS?

I AM SCARED. FOR HER.. FOR ME., FOR EVERYONE...

PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU TOO... I AM SO SORRY FOR ANY SUFFERING YOU MAY HAVE.,

I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER., AND TRUST IN GODS WILL FOR US. ... IF HE BRINGS YOU TO IT... HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH IT.....

I ALWAYS TRY TO STAY POSITIVE., HOWEVER, I THINK MY SISTER IS MUCH WORSE THEN WE KNOW..

THANKS FOR LISTENING., AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BRAVE FIGHT..

GOD BLESS, DONNA LYN DIGIACOMO
