Title: Sister-in-law having surgery
Post by: paris on September 19, 2007, 11:29:05 AM

As I am writing this, my sister-in-law, Jill, is having a double mastectomy. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago.  After long discussions with many doctors she decided to have a double mastectomy since her sister died 4 months ago from breast cancer.  Of course, we are all worried, especially after watching Lisa die slowly over the past 3 years. Our prayer is that it has been detected early and can have a good recovery.  It has been a long summer for our family.

Prayers for a quick recovery. My own sister had a benign breast lump removed. That was 15 years ago, but I remember all the worry.

Thank you all for your posts.  Jill was in surgery about 5 hours and things are looking good. :thumbup;  The lymph nodes look cancer free.  We are all very encouraged and looking forward to an uneventful recovery and then a long, cancer free life.  After losing Lisa, we all felt like this was an instant re-play and couldn't believe it was happening again.  Again, thank you for your good thoughts.  :grouphug;
