Cancer Survivor

[Lacey Cormier]

On April 2009, my sister's belly seemed to grow larger and larger by the day. She could feel sharp pains on her stomach. So we recommended her to go see a doctor. And when the tests were finished she was diagnosed with stage 2 ovarian cancer. We were so shocked. The doctor told us to prepare quite a lefty amount of money for the 6-month chemotherapy. We did all we could for my sister. When her chemo session started, she experienced nausea, headaches, lack of appetite, and more. It was heartbreaking to see her suffer like that. And every after the chemo session we would go to the doctor and have her examined and checked whether the cancer cells have dropped or subsided. The doctors used elisa kits to monitor her condition. And just last month my sister has finished her 6-month long chemotherapy. But i do fear that the cancer cells may come back..
