Update on Star

As most of you know, my sister had been seeing this new doctor who'd reportedly the best oncologist in the region where she's staying. This new doctor is known to be very aggressive in his treatment style. He's also been reluctant to use the word "terminal" to describe Star's condition.

As of today, he's no longer reluctant to use that word. He's been holding back to see how Star reacted to her chemo treatments. Well, she's reacting, but no where near as well as he had initially expected. He's admitted that he can slow down the spread of the cancer but he cannot stop it.

According to his estimates, if she continues to respond as she has been, Star has about two years. If she stops reacting to the treatment - something the doctor admits is highly possible - then the time is measurable in months.
