Family health issues

Unfortunately, there are a few things happening in our family that aren't the best.  My immediate family is okay, and I'm very grateful.  My mom broke her wrist several weeks ago, but that has healed and she is doing as well as she can.  We've come to realize that the radiation from the cancer will always cause her to have balance issues, and as time passes that might continue to be a concern.  However, my mom's sister almost certainly has a form of skin cancer.  Sadly, she has let it go on for entirely too long, and that makes me nervous.  She will know more when my mom takes her to her appointment on Thursday.  My mom also took my grandmother to the doctor yesterday, and there is some concern that she could have skin cancer as well.  The good news is that they don't believe anything is terribly advanced, and she is 88 so it wouldn't be surprising she has had time in the sun.  We are all certainly hoping that everything is treatable for everyone!
