National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

My 42 y/o sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of years ago and had her right breast removed. Recently since October she has been doing chemotherapy again and in December, it was discovered she had another tumor. The past two weeks, she has been having trouble breathing, so she was admitted to the hospital where she is currently residing. The cancer has spread and has completely filled her plural cavity and has moved now into her lungs. She is on 10/lpm oxygen. Her options....start chemo again & have 5-6 weeks of life in the hospital, or go home under Hospice care and die at home, living day by day. She chose to start chemo last Friday in hopes it would help her breathing. It hasn't. She is quite the fighter. I cannot imagine what she is going through. We send prayers to her & my brother every day. We know she only has a matter of days left in her. It's such a sad time these days knowing this. With her being so young & such a fighter, yet she still can't seem to conquer this nasty disease. I'm asking for more prayers for her & my brother & our families. Thank you for taking time to read and for your prayers.
