« on: October 08, 2008, 12:26:59 PM »

My sister Arlene is right now recovering from a mastectomy.  She asked them to do a double one time.  Those of you who pray, please remember her.  she is very young 72.  We lost one sister to breast cancer and I myself am celebrating 15 years of survival this December.  We pray her outcome will be like  mine (minus the dialysis, of course!) :Kit n Stik; :shy;

Bajanne, lot of prayers and good thoughts for your sister.  We lost one sister last year to breast cancer and the second one was diagnoed 3 months later.  We'll pray for her outcome to be as good as yours.  :thumbup;

Thank you so much for your caring words.  I always know I can depend on my IHD family for support.  My sister was indeed brave and opted to have both removed although only one is affected.  I wish now I had done that!  She is supposed to be out of the hospital tomorrow.  I will let you guys know how she is doing.
