Good Evening Giha,

I am sorry about what your sister is going through. I'm sure it is frustrating for you to be so far from what is happening with her. I too would be troubled by the fact that they didn't take the new growth seriously. It sounds like she has found doctors that she feels comfortable with and that is so important.

The truth is this cancer can become a rapid grower in some cases. I will hope for her and you that the chemo will have a good effect.

Take care
