H called late last night... He had called his one of his two sisters, who is visiting his other sister that live part time in CO, near her grandchildren. The sister that lives in CO had discovered she had breast cancer about a month ago, had "some kind" of treatment (H's words), and now has found it again. Had "some kind" of operation yesterday, and when they opened her up, they found it all in her lymph nodes. They will start chemo and radiation next week.
H's fairly close to them both. (Remember, the odd family dynamic... see prior posts.) I offered to go with him to CO to visit his sick sister. He said he didn't want to go since she is having the treatments in CO, so she didn't have to "deal" with people in person about it, here at home... He thinks we need to give her some space.
Very sad. H's mom died from breast cancer when he was 20, and his sick sister is a duplicate version of his mom (I hear.).
Not sure what to do, as he shows no emotion about it... just letting me know about her.
I guess I'll just keep checking on her via him (we're not that close, not due to dislike or anything, just because of distance, etc... and they're not a very close-type family), and express my interest in her well-being. I care about her, too.
