Asking for help.
Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 7:55AM My sister Diane has cancer. She found out a couple of weeks ago. She is tough, she always had been but the fight ahead will be tough too.
Please pray for her as she preparres for surgery and chemo. At this point the doctors are not saying what stage her cancer is in but at first they thought it was Stage one breast cancer until they did an MRI and found more tumors.
Please, any thoughts, prayers, vibes, well wishes, whatever, would be appreciated. If you are my friend you know how much I love you and Diane is not only my sister but also my friend. Thankfully my siblings have always been close which I attribute to the tragedies we have faced throughout our lives.
I know she is going to beat this but my heart hurts at all the pain and discomfort she will feel along the way. As her little brother I have always looked to her as my rock and I am not sure how well I will be as a rock for her now.
My brain is not working right and my heart is broken. I just pray this will be as fast and pain free as possible.

All my prayers! My older sister is also going through chemo and hopefully she can go into surgery soon. She was diagnosed a couple of months ago with pancreatic, ovarian and liver cancer. Our family is also optimisitc, but still shaken. My sister is also dealing with discomfort and sickness, and I wish I could take it away!
I pray for strength and an uplifted spirit for you, your sister and your family!
Many, many prayers.
Oh George I am so sorry -- prayers incoming. i am sure your closeness to her will help pull her through this difficult time.
My thoughts are with you and your family, stay strong and keep positive.
It is a tough journey but I am sure you, as a family, will ease it as much as you can for your Sister. You're in it together! X

Hello George,
We may have been mentioned to each other in passing in the doc, but reading this post brought a lump in my throat.
I understand your pain, fear, anger, helplessness and desperation.
My father was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer a year and a half ago. My world crashed, he is my best friend, my rock, my inspiration and he has kept me going in the toughest of times. He was the centerpiece to our family and in one day when his appendix erupted everything changed.
I went through a major bout of anger and fear. So I understand. It's so hard to open up, but you are doing the right thing. You need to reach out to whoever, whenever you can.
Cancer is a scary, angry, and fear instilling disease and it's so hard for someone like us living with a chronic illness to not feel guilty that it wasn't us. Please take care of yourself, speak to a counselor, friends and family as much as possible. It's a hard road but it is do-able.
My father beat his cancer, he had 5 surgeries and lots of testing, parts of his body were removed and replaced and graphed. But he is back. He is cycling 20+miles a day and he is gaining strength every day. He is an amazing person and every day we talk.
Never stop being there for your sister, but never stop reaching out.
I sincerely hope your family gets through this as unscathed as possible and she is an incredible survivor. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you wish. I have been there.
a tidal wave of love is headed for you. hope you feel it and it lifts you and your family. <3
So sorry my friend, I will be sending prayers to your family during this difficult time.
I hope she makes it thru thus trying time..

Ah, George. This is such a hard thing for her, and all of you around her. I'm sending crazy prayers and healing thoughts your guys' way.
I love all of you, and you be sure to reach out if you need anything. Even just an ear to cry at.
George,
Remember she loves you! You need to talk this through with someone - yes it hurts, it's scary, the unknown yet to be found out. I am praying for you and for Diane. Always ask her what she is thinking - it will be easier for you to speak with her. (Speakiing from experience.) Don't be afraid to cry, yell, scream, punch a pillow or two. Just remember God's plan is still to be determined and in His time. Sending positive thoughts your way!
