Just because I need a place to vent at the moment. If you feel like posting your own whiny, ranty, life's-not-fair stuff, feel free.
So as some of you are aware, my little sis got married in June of 2006 and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November of the same year. One ovary had to be removed, and she is now in remission (will be three years in May). Her hubby had a little son from a previous marriage and so they weren't intending to try for a child of their own for a couple years anyway, and they started being intentionally "careless" about six months ago. Two weeks ago she called me and excitedly told me she was preggers, but it was way early (like 5-6 weeks), so she was only telling me and my parents and her in-laws (plus two close friends). She wanted to pass that 12-week mark before announcing it fully.
Yesterday my dad emailed me, telling me she was lightly spotting, and she had called the doc's office. She went in for an ultrasound with my mom at 1:30. They said she should've been around 8 weeks but the sac measured more in the range of 4-6 weeks, which was way underdeveloped. Due to the pregnancy being so early, the heartbeat couldn't be detected (usually happens at 10 weeks), so they had to draw blood for lab tests, which I'm sure will be an agonizing wait all weekend.
I don't WANT her to go through this. What, it wasn't enough that a 26-year-old amazing person had to have ovarian cancer 5 months after her wedding, lose an ovary, be told pregnancy might not be possible, get pregnant, and lose it??? Why? Why do all the ghetto trash, welfare-hogging, morons out there get to have piles of babies left and right, when my amazing sister gets kicked in the ass and slapped in the face?
World, you can go fuck yourself.
