The Esther study that I just finished had a weekly theme of reasons that it is hard to be a woman. Each week we had to finish "It's hard to be a woman __________." The giant sized weight weeks comes to mind after the phone call I received this morning.
My sister got bad news on her biopsy this morning. It is indeed Cancer. From what I understand it is stage 2 surface Cancer and they are wanting to do a lumpectomy. She has an appointment on the 30th to discuss her options. She was told that she wouldn't have to have chemo or radiation and that it was caught very early.
My heart just breaks for her. She has really had her hands full with crisis in her life with Ariel and her surgery, and having to go through it all over again a week later. Ariel is now in a brace from her chest to her knee to keep her body straight while she is healing. While in this brace (for 8 full weeks) she is only to stand or lay down. They have moved furniture around to give her a bed in the living room and she is unable to leave the house because she isn't suppose to sit in a car. Needless to say it has been quite stressful. Now my sister is facing Cancer. I am so glad that she DID get the mammogram while Ariel was in the hospital. It would have been so easy to skip barring the circumstances of having a child in the hospital needing you. God was again taking care of her and getting her butt in there to get this done. Many prayers are needed and appreciated.
