My sister has been diagnosed with cancer. They are starting chemo & radiation and more tests and have warned her she will be burned after her treatments. That was hard to hear because I know several people who went through that... and didn't survive.
I'm sending her a box of aloe plants today, I hope it helps.
Thank you all for your prayers.

Oh dear! I've benn the one getting chemo and radiation before, and that was quite a troublesome year! I'll pray for her. I don't know what cancer she has, but because of where mine was, my radiation burns were internal, in my esophagus. Felt like a crazed cat trying to escape my throat every time I swallowed-- but they were able to presribe me something the pharmicists call "Magic Mouthwash" that worked very well in numbing/ healing the burns.
Anyway, I pray that she'll be well. And that's you'll be well-- I swear, the people around me had a tougher time of my sickness than I did, simply because they worried and fretted more than I did.

Saying a prayer for your sister
No Congress, no President has been strong enough to stand up to the foreign-controlled Federal Reserve Bank.
Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

praying here too
I know that God works miracles - DH had a bad diagnosis with cancer last year, and he is a walking miracle today. Prayer changes the medical diagnoses!

I have heard somewhere of an organization that provides free housekeeping assistance for people on radiation therapy. You might look up whether it's available in her area. One less thing for her to worry about.

Ann, I am just seeing this and will be adding your sister to my prayers as well. I have a dear friend who is going through radiation and about to start chemo. It is horrific on the pain scales. I will particularly pray for relief from the pain for your sister.

We've been talking. She's not doing well, intense pain, burned and blistered enough they are going to quit the therapy and she's on bed rest. It was the plead in her voice when she said, "Pray for me."
Thank you all for your prayers, she has called several times and said they helped her get through another day.
