My sister was operated on for a growth near her sacrum last year. The operation was successful but after biopsy it identified her cancer as a Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This is usually a skin cancer but hers was internal. She then had a course of chemo and radium therapy. She reacted very badly to this and a second course of chemo was abandoned. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and she is very cautious about sharing information ab out her condition.  About a month ago she told me she had to have another major operation on her liver for growths. She said it might not be cance but cycts or inflammations. But this may not be true.  I have been awaiting results of biopsy for some weeks now. As a result of a monumental stuff up by my cousins they said my sister needed more chemo. This upset me and my family badly as we knew nothing about it. Turned out they had made wrong assumptions simply on basis my sister had an oncologist appointment. It was very stressful but my sister has now confessed she has more scans and blood tests in mid July before decision on any further treatment. This was so distressing to find out as we'd hoped liver growths would be benign. I am not handling this very well as I imagine the worst particularly after last weekends stuff ups. How does one maintain a positive attitude in face of such uncertainty? My sister is very positive but I feel even she is denying the reality as she told me the liver growths may not be cancer but as things have turned out this seems very unlikely. My own doctor said it is likely her cancer is mestastizing throughout her body. I don't have a specific question but any copying thoughts welcome. My sister is protecting me but I feel anxious for lack of knowledge.  ... View more
