" THIS IS POSTED ON TWO PLACES, HERE AND RELIGION"


DAMNIT.....DAMNIT....DAMNIT!!!! DAMNIT!! D...A...M...N...I...T.

I guess by now, you know it isn't good.

I waited so long to update because there was just too much going on to have anything substanstial to say.

Lynn has been going through all kinds of hell, and I have been there with her through every single step of it. Aaaaaauuuuunnnndddd..it is just now beginning. My heart is breaking...breaking into chunks of sorrow and information that just sears me to my very soul.

We went to the Dr again today and he took us into the consult room and told us she has to have SIX MONTHS OF CHEMO... this after her going through a painful event today that we went through last week...exactly the same. She is at home taking demerol and sleeping away the hurt. She has to have a port put into her chest just under her bra area (so there will be no visable scar). He is going to put her to sleep to insert this in the large vein horizontal to the lung. There is a percentage of going through the vein and envading the lung thus causing soomething I forgt what it was...anyway it could collapse the lung. But she will be in good hands with him. This is an awesome Dr.

Then they will go forward with the chemo.

They are aggressively attacking this cancer because it is so rare and must be done intensely. Her fallopian cancer made it through the center of the tubes and into the muscle of it and into the wall. Therefore it has an EIGHTY PERCENT chance of returning.:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Even though they took it out, it is still in the dangerous phase.

He said they will enduce meds to stop the sickness and give her mass doses of high potency vitamins and iron along with nutrients to try and keep her healthy. In between chemo they will do tests to see how she is holding up. There is a FIFTY percent chance of losing her hair. I told her if it starts to fall out I wanted to take her to get her hair shaved off to save her the pain of watching it fall out. I even told her I would shave mine off, but had to ask my job first to see if it would cause a problem. I am all about supporting her in any way possible. I told her if this happened, to wear her dew rag with pride and show no shame of embarrassement for others who may have to go throught it.
That if we got her a wig to not get to where she felt the need to wear it for prides sake. To take pride in her journey. To stand up and be seen as a strong and bigger than life woman of substance.

I so need to let out my own fear. So, I am doing it with you guys. Bear with me please.brokenheart

You are an amazing support to your sister. She is VERY lucky to have you by her side in this time of need. It sounds like you are giving her all the strength that she needs. May things get better hun. You will be in my thoughts and my heart. I wish you nothing but the best for the both of you. Keep your head held his and focus on the positive and try to ignore the negative. I really hope that things get better for her.
