One thing you can ask for is
One thing you can ask for is a genetic test to see if it runs in the family. If you are with her doctors I would ask them point blank about what ever is on your mind. I do that with my daughter's doctors. In fact I have two binders full of her medical records just from Sept '12 to now. You should see docs eyes pop out when i plop that down on their desks! Seriously, I wish you and your sister lots of luck. check around, there are options to treatment besides surgery. Inform yourself. Going in with all the info you can with give you a leg up on this monster.
