Dealing with Cancer

Hello

I am new to this blogging but need to talk, my sister Liz martocci was diagnosed
with lung cancer about seven months ago and her kids have created a foundation to help her and others dealing with this decease.www.lizmartoccilungcancerfoundation.org

I have watched the site and spoken with the children and see the pain they are going through as I have lived it before you see this is the second sister to be hit by this decease.
We lost our sister Sheryl to Rectal Cancer in 1976, i was 14 at the time and watched this 21 year old women deteriorate in front of my eyes. She lost her battle after only 6 months, we also lost Sheryls daughter Kelly to Brain Cancer in 1985.

It has been 23 years since we dealt with this last dealt with this but the fear of losing another has been weighing on my mind. I don't get to see Liz much anymore as we have families of our own that takes up a great deal of our time, there was a time when we were young that we were best friends and I miss that.

I pray that Liz will beat this decease but I know the realty is that she will not.

I need her to know that she is Loved, not only by her children but by her brothers and mother as well.

In closing I ask that anyone who may see this to visit the site and help in anyway you can.
