Prayers, good thoughts and swinging chickens requested
Hi everyone
As most of you know, I am a cancer survivor. I am from a family of 5 kids - four girls and one boy. Three of the girls have had breast cancer; I was the third diagnosed. One of us has died - my oldest sister - not from the cancer per se, but from the toxicity of the drugs that followed in the chemotherapy treatment. She was diagnosed last year with heart disease and died within 4 months.
Now, the only cancer-free sister left of the four of us girls is having a biopsy of breast tissue in a couple of weeks and she is convinced that she has breast cancer.
I am more concerned for her than I ever was for myself. I, for whatever reason - naivete?? - was never scared or worried that I might die. My life was pretty empty and I must not have thought that I would leave much behind. But this is different with my sister, Ann. She is a mother of two wonderful girls and is one of the best grandmothers that I have ever seen.
Ann is 4 years older than I. I don't what I would do without her and I am scared to death for her. Please say prayers for Ann or swing chickens or keep her in your good thoughts. I would be very appreciative if you would do this.
Thank you.

Oh Margaret,
I'm sorry that your family is going through this uncertainty again. It is a scary spot for all of you, I know. When it happened to me I was sure that I DIDN'T have cancer... but I did. My fear came after the diagnosis.... but truly, I do understand your fear. Just try to breathe and not jump to conclusions. And remember that even a diagnosis of cancer is not always too bad. Mine was manageable, scary, but no chemo and not much of a chance of a bad prognosis. I'll be thinking good thoughts for all of you. Keep us posted- this may just end up being a bad dream in the end. Then you can celebrate!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Now this made me cry - you are very astute, Margo. I have a hard time asking anyone for anything, so I am very grateful to you and everyone else on this forum for rising to the occasion and helping me deal with this. I am feeling more and more that this may be a benign tumour - and I hope to God that I am right.
Thanks for your love and caring attitude.
