A proud sister and daughter

Just over 8 years ago, “cancer” became a household word in my family. My brother Danny was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and was to undergo a very serious surgery which doctors advised was his chance for a cure…he is cancer free to this day.

About 3 years later, my sister Dianne was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and underwent surgery to remove part of her bowel. After several rounds of chemo therapy and radiation Dianne was ready to carry on with her life…just at the time my Mom was diagnosed with non-hodgkins Lymphoma! Mom also underwent surgery and several rounds of chemo and radiation and doctors were “optimistic”.

After 2 years Dianne’s cancer returned in her Liver. Surgeons removed 2/3’s of Dianne’s liver and once again she battled with chemo and radiation. For three years both Dianne and Mom had been cancer free until just recently doctors discovered Dianne’s cancer had returned and Mom’s is back as well…they will not stop fighting and their family will be there with them screaming….F*cancer!!!!
