Dear Nob,

Don't think the worst without knowing what your sister is dealing with. It is never cancer until they test it and say it's cancer. Go on this forum and look up frequentely asked questions or just read some of the older posts. The more knowledge you have about what your sister has the more you will be able to help her. Remember, Knowledge is power! Try and keep her spirits up and be sure to post after her surgery so we know what she's dealing with. The scarist time is now for your whole family. Once you find out for sure what it is you will make a plan with the Doctors on how to proceed.

Remember you can always come to this forum and ask any questions you want to. You will find the members of this forum are a special group of people who want to help in any way we can. This is the best advice I can give you now. I am praying it turns out to be nothing. But remember she will need a caretaker to help her if it turns out to be some form of cancer. It sounds like you will be that person. Please email me if you want to chat, I will help as much as I can, Daniel
