An Inconvenient Illness
I have been informed that my sister is in "stage 3" of her cancer. I have always found it interesting how, in my case anyhow, no matter how much knowledge I think I have on certain things, when these things hit close to home, I'm like, "WHAT"? "What does that mean"? Are we talking months? Are "they" saying the strong chemo may "get it"? Tell me all!
It proves all the more difficult when you are dealing with a person who has lived (or so it seems to me) a life of denial. Now reality is setting in. My sister, and I love her dearly, will continue, I feel, to be uninformed of what may lie ahead, and she is not one to want to know what lies ahead.
So I just wait, as do my siblings and other relatives.
And try and understand what "stage 3" means.........

stage 3 can mean many different things depending on the kind of cancer, treatment available, etc. I will tell you this, my hubby was diagnosed with "stage 3" cancer in 1988 and today ran the Twin Cities Marathon!! Remember, there is always hope and miracles do happen may your sister be one of them.
Thank you JoJo, for your kind words. I still don't know what is going on. Tried calling today but my sis was at the clinic getting the chemo tube inserted.
I'm so very happyto hear that your hubby is in excellent condition and give him a high five for running the marathon! That is my dream!
