Family News

My sister is finishing a nursing program in NJ and went into the hospital for several days because she had severe abdominal pain. Turns out that they found a rather large tumor somewhere in her colon and they are not sure if it is cancerous. Not a really good thing since she has to have surgery to get it removed and then tested. So she is going to try to finish her last month of class and then have surgery. From what she tells me the doctors think it's rather strange that they really couldn't tell if it is cancer and that it's not a common cancer found in someone who is her age. If it is cancerous (lymphoma) she will have to go through chemo after the surgery. They also found that one of her kidneys is enlarged. Hmmm. Luckily she'll go see specialists in Philly later in the week and then go from there. I think we are all very stressed out here since we don't really know anything. Sigh. I am very concerned.



So basically that's the news. Hopefully it won't be anything serious.

New update: Turns out is was a weird appendix thing and had surgery to have it removed. Whew.
