Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for the words of support!
Spoke with my sister yesterday. She was in good spirits, but in a lot of pain. Said she is taking it hour-by-hour until her next appointment Tuesday, Jan. 2.
Meanwhile, I have signed up for a local program ("Coping with Cancer") for patients and families, and friends of cancer patients. It will begin on Jan. 11 and lasts for 4 weeks. I am determined to become as educated as I can. I have passed on the link to this amazing site to my sister and her husband, their daughter, and our brother. As I get the e-addresses of other family members and friends, they, too, will get the link!

One other thing: Sister told me that she wanted to get an appointment at the Gray Cancer Center at Hartford Hospital in CT, but they were not accepting appointments until February. Can anyone suggest ways to get around this???
