Further News

The doctors have diagnosed my sister with Lambert-Eaton syndrome. One of the causes can be lung cancer. The bright side is that no tumors were apparent with the MRI, so if one exists it must be quite small. She's having a more detailed test tomorrow called a PET scan, so we'll know more after we receive those results.

Personally, I'm hanging in there. My sister is 19 years older than me, so she's always been a mother-figure to me. Dealing with her medical crisis has brought up the old feelings of when I lost my mom to cancer, so it's been a bit rough. However, I truly believe in the power of positive thoughts. Thanks again for all the heartfelt thoughts and wishes...they're truly appreciated.
