Today is the day I get to walk by my sister. I say GET TO because she beat this thing. Because of the early detection, her brave decision to do a double mastectomy and the 4 rounds of unbearable chemo, she GETS to walk as a SURVIVOR today. Because of the new research and all the medical advances, my sister is seeing the light at the end of this awful tunnel. So today I will walk with her, hold her hand, and thank God that I GET TO every step of the way. I love you sis and I am so unbelievably glad that you are still here today... MOUAH!!
She is really one of the lucky ones. She lost a chemo friend a few weeks ago. I graduated with this girl in 1998 so she was my age and that was just so unbelievable to me. She had two young children and that is just the saddest thing. I was looking at my niece today and I thanked the fates that they still had their mother today. I asked my mom how she was doing and she told me that she'd rather be anywhere else but there today because that would have meant my sister wouldn't have gone through the hell she went through but we are oh so glad that the hell she had to bravely go through made it so that she was able to walk with us there today... I love you sister and I know I tell you more than I have ever told you before but your January phone call scared me so much that I just want you to know. So there!
I will leave it here and let you look through some pics:
