My new found inner peace was destroyed last night with one phone call. One of my sister's has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is remarkably resilient whilst I am falling apart. I tell myself "one day at a time" but the thoughts of where this could all go keep creeping in. If only she had been to a doctor long before this. If only she had taken better care of herself all these years. If only...
There's no word yet as to how bad this is. The cancer is in both breasts and further tests have to be done to know just what she's up against. Then will come the treatments.
I love her with all my heart. I'll support her as best I can with a buoyancy that I muster from somewhere within. I will turn my head when the tears come so she doesn't see them. I'll remind myself and her to breathe, and live, and laugh as often as we can. I will hope for the best. Please hope for the best too.

Mary, I try to pray daily for those battling cancer. I will include your sister in my prayers.
prayers to you and yours amiga
thoughts and prayers to you and your family as you all deal with this. I remember how scary it was for all of us when my SIL was diagnosed 5 years ago.
Thanks you guys. I really appreciate it!
