Some of you (old timers) may remember my younger sister Amey. She was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple years ago. She had joined this site in her journey to quit smoking at that time. She went a different route, but did manage to quit smoking*
I have had an extremely emotional week, which brought the whole family together,but the bright spot was Thursday when I had seen Amey for the first time in quite awhile (they moved to West Virginia when Dave retired from the Navy).
It seems she had an oncologist appointment on Wednesday.
She informed us that she is now cancer free for 1 complete year!..
She had endured the removal of 1 lobe of her lung, and countless bouts of chemo and radiation, and then sometime in the last year both, her and her husband had a heart attack ( at different times of course ;) ) and then she got another scare, that at first thought was her heart again , but turned out to be COPD ...not good either....
But, in the end, she is cancer free and hopefully going to stay around awhile! :D
