My sister had surgery again today. The surgeon went in to fix a hernia and to look around to see how the chemo worked. She's going to have to have more chemo, because there's still some cancer in there. My parents were there when she came out of surgery (I had to work), so this is all second-hand. The doctor said there's a "fair amount" of cancer. What the hell is a "fair amount" of cancer? After the last surgery, he said they'd gotten 98% of it, and they were going to get the rest with chemo. So how can she still have a "fair amount?" Stupid.

I'm scared this time more than I was last time. Last time I was all, oh they can cure cancer now with surgery and radiation and chemo. My sister calls it "slash, burn and poison." But now they've done all that and there's still some there.

What was left the last time was attached to the blood supply to her intestines. That's probably where it still is, so they can't cut it out.

I pulled up my "scared" mood icon and it made me smile. That's a good thing. Tom Arnold and MR and a little smooch. Heh! I really like Tom Arnold. I bought his book, "How I Lost Five Pounds in Six Years." It's a good book.

In other news, I haven't seen this week's Smallville yet, because this is my week to work late. (I get to see it on time every other week). So I can't read most of my flist. But I enjoyed all the drabbles and wips.

Also, I'm nauseous and I don't know why. I feel like I have motion sickness. Maybe stress.
