Cancer Update

My sister had her Thyroid removed on February 6th. There was a large tumour on the gland and a biopsy indicated Cancer cells.

Both my Dad and I felt horrible about being away during her surgery, but things seem to be successful. The doctors removed the gland and the tumour, which they later tested to confirm it as a cancerous tumour. They said that it was not at the spreading stage and that things look positive for a complete recovery.

She will have to undergo radiation therapy in April which involves taking a radioactive pill and complete isolation for a couple of days. She will be able to return home, after a couple of days, but won't be able to see her baby daughter for two weeks. This will be hard on the both of them, but they will use this as a weaning opportunity.

So that's good news. We have breathed a collective sigh of relief and hope that everything continues well.
