I hope that this turns out like the time when my husband went for a physical and found out his bilirubin level was high. I couldn’t stop thinking about liver cancer, even though he doesn’t drink and didn’t have a family history. The clinic did a zillion tests and determined it was something called Gilbert’s Syndrome – which is basically elevated bilirubin in the bloodstream.

So anyway, I hope she is okay.

You’re doing right by your sister, and you all will be fine. Dwelling on what might happen doesn’t help you in the here and now. Live in the here and now for your sister’s sake, and for yours.
