Terrible news
Today, on the third anniversary of my cancer diagnosis, my sister-in-law found out that her leukemia has returned - for the second time. The prognosis is grim. Her only hope is a) a bone marrow transplant from a random donor (million to one chance, as no matches were found either for her initial leukemia or her first recurrence), or b) getting into a clinical trial, if one can be found for her type of cancer.
I can't believe this is happening. There is a certain irony that her cancer keeps returning during the astrological sign of cancer. Her seven year old son will always associate summer with mommy getting sick (breast cancer, leukemia, two recurrences.)
Meanwhile, I have a mammogram scheduled for this Friday. I'm so not looking forward to it.
