Wow, it's been a rough week. We found out last week that my sister, Ginny, has liver cancer. She was told that there is too much to be cut out, and that chemo isn't much of an option. They are giving her the option to try something new, called TheraSphere treatment
where millions of tiny, radioactive beads are implanted into the cancer through blood vessels. It could slow or stop the blood flow to the cancer. It is very new, and is only used when there is no other viable options.
What I'm amazed at, is how Ginny is taking all of this news. At first she thought that she would only have a very short time to live, maybe as short as 6 weeks. Now, she has been told that she has 1-3 years, and the TheraSphere could extend that, but they really don't know by how much. She does know that there is not a cure. She is very upbeat about it. She feels great that she has a lot more than 6 weeks, and is going to make the best of it. She's not afraid to die, but she's glad that it's not quite yet.
Wow, what an attitude! I'm thankful to have a sister that can show me how to be positive, even during the hardest trials. I can see that with the knowledge of the gospel, all things can be dealt with. Thank you, Ginny, for being a person I can look up to!
