Breast Cancer and my sister

I was diagnosed in 2008.  I just passed my 2 year mark.  I still see 2 onc doctors every 6 months, plus I am on Zometa twice a year too.  I have found healing in doing volunteer work when I can.  I also am looking forward to walking for the 2nd time in the Komen walk in September.  My daughter will be there and both my nieces.  My sister does not want to walk with me.  She feels I should be over this and does not understand why I would want to be involved with anything that reminds me of breast cancer.  I have always tried to be very "up beat" with my family during the last 2 years.  I feel very strongly about being connected to Komen, and the volunteer work I am doing.  I actually just joined a support group a few months ago - I go once a month.  I try not to focus only on breast cancer.  I have many, many things in my life to be thankful for.  But, I admit this really hurts me about my sister.  I think I need to stop expecting her to react the way I think she should.  Does anyone have any experience with maybe other family members or friends who have these same feelings?
