Barb,
Welcome to this site. It will be your lifeline for awhile! It has been for me!
I was diagnosed a year ago in March. My sister was diagnosed 4 months later. So I feel your pain, sister! I was all into myself going through the treatment, then all of a sudden, there's SIS!!
I worried about her more than myself! But your sister will surely take comfort in your support and knowledge.
I have finished surgery, chemo, rads and sis is 1/3 of the way through her rads. At one point, we both looked like egg heads together!
Hang in there!
