The last couple of weeks and especially this past week has not been the greatest in our world! For those of you who do not already know my sister Becky was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This came as quit the shock due to her young age, she is not even 30 years old yet. We do not know all of the details yet, we are still waiting for many of the test results to come back. However the things that we do know are.. They are going to do surgery, as to whether they are going to remove the boobs or just the cancer lump, we are still unsure. She will for sure have to go through chemotherapy, and yes she will loose 100% of the hair on top of her head and probably even her eyelashes and eyebrows. Her husband told her that they would have to get her a whole new hat collection and she is hoping that the doctor will remove the man-eating mole on her head! We are still waiting for the results to see if it is genetic or not, our Grandma Duffin has had problems with this, so there is a good chance it could be genetic. If it is genetic it will mean that Jensyn (her daughter) and I will need to be watched very closely. Jensyn will never be able to take oral birth control pill and for me it means that I should probably get off the pill! The reason for this is because the estrogen in the birth control makes the cancer grow alot faster. For Becky it also means that they will have to also take out her ovaries and take off the boobs. However the good news to Becky is that if they take off the boobs, she is going to get "reconsturctive surgery" and with this "reconstructive suurgery" they take fat from other places of the body, and then have to fix the place they take the fat from. Basically all I am trying to say is that she will get a boob job and a tummy tuck all in one, which sounds pretty cool!! I hope none of you think that I am being insensitive about this. For those of you that know our family, know that we joke around alot and this is kind of the way we are dealing with this. It has been really rough on all of us, however there has been so much support. We have the best extended family in the whole world! My Aunt Cheri and Aunt Weezy wanted to do something for my sister. My sister has painted almost her whole house since she has moved in, except for her own bedroom. My Aunt's wanted to do something for her and they knew how much she wanted her bedroom painted, so.. they painted her bedroom over the course of a couple of days. They figured she will be in bed more than usual in the next few months and they wanted her to be able to look at her walls and know that she is loved! They are awesome! Becky has also said how great and supportive her husband has been. I am so thankful for Jon and his love for her because I know it comforts her so much! Becky has an awesome attitude about all of this and I am not so sure that any of us could get through this without her positive attitude. She is the best sister in the whole world and I want her to know how much I have looked up to her my entire life. Even though she did rat me out a few times when I wasn't doing what I was suppose to! She has been an example to me! I pretty much copied her life, except for the geeky parts! This Picture is a perfect example of my coolness and her geekiness!!
She is the Best and I LOVE HER!! I will pray for you Beck your the BEST!!! So pathetically I do not have any picutres of Becky and I when we are older, well I have some some at my house, but I am at my parents and these are the pics I have come up with at my parents I love them!!
