I have loved having my sister here for the last week but to be honest everything is overwhelmed by my mom's cancer and the treatment. I feel bad for my sister. Her life is in such a wonderful place!

F*#@ing Cancer Treatment Day 2
Yesterday was rough. Really, really rough. I think we were fooling ourselves a bit to think that my mom might escape any real side effects.
