Prayers needed!
My prayers will include your sister! I know that doctors often tell people they can 'watch' something, but when I was 40, something irregular showed in my mammogram. Tthe surgeon said he thought it was just a cyst the we could 'watch' or he could biopsy it, removing the whole thing. I told him there was no watching ANYTHING to schedule me for surgery immediately. I was a fluid filled cyst, but I rest easy at night.
Good thing she asked for the biopsy. A friend had asimilar experience with skin cancer. She had a place on her nose she had a funny feeling about. You could see any changes but she could feel a different texture in one spot. She begged him twice and then said she would go somewhere else if he didn't biopsy it. It WAS skin cancer.
God bless to both you and your sis,

Tammy,
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer early last year. His prostate was 3 times the normal size so he had to go on hormone therapy for a few months. Luckily that was enough and it shrunk to a size that other treatments could begin. He had radiological seeds implanted a few months ago and is doing well. This should be the only treatment he needs. He was very lucky that his wasn't an aggressive form.
Good luck to your father and you too!
