Hi, I want to update this thread. On Friday, October 30th my sister passed on. Treatment provided her about an extra year, but during the last couple of weeks she was in tremendous pain, as the cancer had gone into her bones. She died at home, as she had wished to, with her husband, son, dog, and cat by her side.

My sister's funeral was yesterday. There was quite a crowd there, as she was so loved by so many people. Her life-long best friend flew in from Alaska. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to read a nice eulogy for her. The funeral was probably the hardest thing I've ever gone through. Losing my parents was hard, but mixed...losing my sister was just very hard. I can't believe there will be no more emails, Facebook posts, calls from her...that I will never again hear her call my name. So. That's about all.
