Good for your sister.
Me on the other hand, have lost both of my sisters to savage types of aggressive cancers. One died on my birthday in 2000, Breast cancer, Diagnosed with a tumor less than 1/2 mm in size. With in 4 months it has moved to her lymph nodes and other breast. 3 month later it was in her liver kidneys and lungs. 3 month more, brain, blood, bone and spinal fluid. 5 month later we burried her, 3 days after my 36th Bday.
My other sister......
Died Dec 23, 2005, 4 days prior to her only sons 5th birthday (he was born Dec 27th) My sister Debbie was diagnosed with an aggressive form of pancratic cancer. Much like my only other sister, she died within 18 months of being diagnosed. At 2 months after diagnosis, they went in for exploratory. It was already too late. A set of fingers had grown out of the tumor in her pancreas. The finger entwined themselves not only with the nerve bundle that runs by the Pancreas, but also through and around the vain that goes from the lungs and feeds blood to the lower part of your entire body. One finger had also wrapped off her lower intestine. They took out what little they could by the lower intestine so she could still eat normally. but with in 4 more months, the finger came back and fully encircled her small intestine, and over the next year, We got to watch her starve to death.
So forgive me if I dont shed a tear for your sisters ovarian cancer. She lived through what is known as a very curable cancer, and has been over the last decade or two. Yes Some forms are aggressive, and generally end up with a full hysterectomy, while not being a great thing, at least they have a pretty normal life, unless they are in child bearing years.
again you speaking circles bob. you say your an expert in Lymes desease, but yet you have NO fucking clue on how it effects those afflicted with it.
I am not privy to my Buddys Dr/Pt info. that as you noted is private. But what i will tell you, is his dr, the one that diagnosed his Lyme Disease 12 yrs ago. Had his paperwork ready the minute the state was accepting applications, and he has since reduced the majority of the prescriptions he was writing as they were killing my buddy.
