I found out a few weeks ago that my sister had been diagnosed with skin cancer. The kind that is developed by over exposure to the sun. By the way she was talking about it there was never any iminant danger of it spreading very quickly but she said she had been really tired and had constant headaches. I begged her to get a second opinion as soon as possible. She went to a dermatologist who specializes in cancer and they made an appointment for Dec 15th for surgery. However over the last week she started feeling a lump in her breast as well. So she went to another doctor who suggested it might be cancer as well. This freaks me completely. Being that I just studied the lymphatic system I have more information then I am comfortable with about how disease can spread when it gets into the lymph system. I have a really bad feeling about this. I hope I am just over reacting and its not as serious as it feels. My sister is the closest family I have even though we live so far apart. I am not sure what I would do with out her. She is comming off as all put together about it and I am trying to keep positive but its hard to do when I am so scared for her. Its crazy because out of all of my siblings she is the one who lived the cleanest life, never smoked or partied she eats right and for most of her life worked out on a regular basis. The rest of us have not had cancer and this is her second time getting it. There is no justice.
