Jeannie

Well, since my last blog, I've gotten moved in and mostly settled. I really love this house. I mean, I really, really love it. It feels like home for the most part and I absolutely love my bedroom, although it's significantly colder than the rest of the house.

I finally went to see my sister. It wasn't easy at all. I cried almost the entire time I was there. My dad cried a little too, which made me cry more. She looked pretty good, but she weighs about forty pounds less than she did ...

I still haven't talked to my sister, but my dad did today. She said she's feeling good and she's still going to fight the cancer. She's trying to stay positive and she still has her sense of humor. apparently she talked to one of her best friends and her friend told her that it's killing her to see my sister sick. When they got off the phone, my sister said "What's she talking about? I'm the one that it's killing!" and laughed. So I guess that's a good thing.

Seriously.

You all mean so much to me. I'm lucky to be able to call each of you my friend. I don't think that I could go through this without you guys.

I don't what else to say other than thank you. So thank you! I want you all to know that I am here for you no matter what happens in your lives. If you need to talk, I'm here.

On a side note, my sister told my mom that she's going to fight this cancer with all she's got. That made me feel a lot better ...

It turns out that my sister's cancer is everywhere and that it is untreatable. As far as I know it's spread from her colon to her liver and stomach.

I can't even begin to express what's going on in my head. I was really, really hoping that it would be alright.

I'm going to stay positive, though. She will make it, no matter what.

EDIT: My mom talked to another of my sister's before I left for work. My sister has a colostomy now. She said that she knows ...

I found out that my second oldest sister, Jeannie, has colon cancer.

She's been in a lot of pain for the past couple of weeks and she had a biopsy on Friday. They sent her to St. Louis for surgery to repair a blockage and apparently they found the cancer. I'm not sure how bad it is or if it's spread at all but I'm super worried for her. I'm sure that she'll make it, though. She is one of the strongest people I know.

She will kick cancer's ass. Also, the doctor she ...
