Hi all!
My sister had breast cancer 26 years ago and had her breast and lymph nodes removed.
Last Thursday she was diagnosed with Primary lung cancer stage 3b. She is waiting for a treatment plan.
She is so far away in Australia with her only son in Ireland. I am trying to come to terms with her devastating news and planning to go see her as soon as we know her treatment.
Really seems unfair to get it twice but they reckon the radiotherapy first time round has caused it this time.
