My sister is back in emergency room

[SassyLady]

As most of you know, I have a sister that has been battling breast cancer for the last nine years. The last time she ended up in hospital was from a heart attack and renal failure caused by the cancer center trying to do too many MRI's in same day to qualify her for new trials. She didn't make it into that trial, but the doctor got permission to use the meds on her anyway.

After a year on those meds, they have found that the cancer is outsmarting them because they are finding more tumors. The lates are tumors in her lungs. Last August she had cyber knife radiation on a tumor in one of her lungs. There is now another tumor on the other lung and it's constricting her bronchial tube so they were debating whether to use the cyber knife (3 treatments over 3 day period) again or just do the normal, five days a week, four weeks radiation. The problem is that the cyber knife will only get the "top" portion of the tumor and she will still have to do chemo to try and reduce the rest of it.

Well, today was the procedure to put in the "seeds" for the cyber knife and they nicked her lung on the way out and it collapsed. She's in emergency room now and they are going to keep her for a few days and make sure she doesn't get pneumonia.

All of your prayers have helped in the past and we would appreciate any good energy you can send our way.

Thanks!

Please know. Strangers you will never meet, or know are keeping your sister in their prayers.

As a Cancer survivor myself. Positive thoughts, prayers, and the love of her family will come together to bring a new day.
God Bless.
