Cancer

How can one little word cause so much pain, fear, tears, and grief? How can that one little word turn so many lives upside down? How can that one little word mean so little to someone until its in your family? How can that one little word break so many hearts?
I'm a nurse. I've dealt with cancer on the medical side many times before. I've never been really affected by it on the other side.
My heart is breaking right now. It's breaking for my sister, her husband, her sweet children, my family. She's only 30 years old. She was told today that she has breast cancer. She has a very loving husband and two amazingly sweet young children.
I can't imagine what she's going through. I wish I could take it all away from her. I wish it could be me instead of her. I wish I were right there with her right now, but I'm six hours away. I wish it were tomorrow night so I could be with her hugging her.
I know that she will fight this and kick cancers ass! I have no doubts about that!
Please just say an extra prayer for her and her family tonight.
