My sister was 4 years older than me. Unfortunately, she died in 2005 due to cancer, of her blood cells, after a year-long stay in the hospital. This was after surviving breast cancer and a double-mastectomy. A few years earlier, she’d undergone a procedure where all her white blood cells were killed by irradiation, and she was waiting to be strong enough to get a bone marrow transplant from our older brother, who was the closest match to her cells.
