I hope she can find out soon what the stage is because it can really make a difference. Also, if there is a cancer hospital she can go to near her I would highly recommend it. When my Dad had cancer, he was diagnosed at a regular hospital. They said he had lung cancer. My dad never smoked or anything. They tried to do a biopsy two or three times but couldn't get a bite out of the tumor. They were going to take out his lung. My Mom was like we are going to City of Hope which is a cancer hospital here in So. Cal. They did their own biopsy and it was not lung cancer, it was Non-Hodgkins lymphoma which had formed in the lung. The other hospital would have taken out the lung and wouldn't have cured the cancer! Plus when they thought it was lung cancer, it was like really bad prognosis. When they found out it was Non-Hodgkins lymphoma stage 2 they were like, you're going to be fine. Chemo. Radiation. You'll be fine. And he was. And he is 9 years cancer free. But I think a cancer hospital is so important to "get it right" I mean, that's what they do all day every day so they have the knowledge and the resources. So if you Sister can go to a cancer hospital, I would think that would be really good. Best wishes to her and you. And your Mom. and lots of hugs too. Kit
