My sister

Not very many people know that I have a sister that is only 7 1/2 years older than me. Our family has been through a lot with my sister and her medical background. My sister started out having cervical cancer when she was pregnant with my youngest nephew. After having him, she had a full hysterectomy to get rid of everything. Then she found out she had thyroid cancer and had to have her thyroid removed. She has had colon cancer numerous times and has went through chemo with it. Now we have been informed that she has cancer on her liver. She is not a drinker or smoker. She is a very healthy person when it comes to her habits. So now she has to have surgery tomorrow where they are wanting to remove at least 1/3 of her liver, maybe 1/2 of her liver.
I have somewhat got use to the fact that my sister has a lot of medical problems. We have dealt with all of her cancer and getting her better and we have also dealt with her having narcolepsy. She has custody of her two youngest sons, which are 7 and 8 years old. They know that she is having surgery but they don't know what she is having done. They will be spending the weekend with their father and then will be staying at my mom's until she gets better.
I do love my sister and hope that everything turns out ok. Me and my sister have had our share of problems, believe me. I have somewhat learned to get pass everything and move onto the future.
I just needed to get some things off my chest about having to deal with my sister and her medical problems. Please keep my family in your prayers and help us get through this.
