Update

As everyone knows, I spent the weekend in New Orleans visiting my sister. While I was there, I had the chance to speak at length with a couple of her doctors. They've admitted they cannot stop the spead of cancer; they can only slow the progress with radiation and chemo.

As it turns out, and as I had predicted, their estimation of a year was overly optimistic. Right now they're saying she probably won't see the end of this year.
