I also want to point out that if your sister hasn't stopped smoking yet, she must stop immediately. The success of her treatment can be strongly compromised by her continuing to smoke.
Good luck and welcome to OCF, the best source of support and information on the web. Come here often and you will become part of our family of very special people. It would be good if you can get your sister on here, too.
