Teal Ribbons

As if enough had not gone wrong this year for my family, we were given another blow today.  About three weeks ago my younger sister in law was having abdominal pain.  They did a scan and found a large mass in her abdomen.  It ended up being a seven inch, three pound tumor that was the size of a football.  It was removed as was her ovary and fallopian tube.  After running blood tests and doing a full body scan, four more tumors were found through out her body.  She now has been diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and she is only nineteen years old.  She begins chemo therapy tomorrow.

It is such a shock.  I don't even know who to feel.  I am utterly devastated and freaked out behind words.  What kind of world is this?  Why does this crap happen to us?
