Hey
Well, its as it says, today is THAT day. My sister has been diagnosed with secondary lung cancer.
Been scouring round some sites and found you lot. Thought I would hook up and see how it goes.
I cant get much information out of her - when I do see her we dont talk about it and just have a "good time", which doesnt help me much I must say.... but, hey, im there for her...
Catch U laters.
Oh,. we love the beach - thats why Im beach girl...
Sure your sister will talk to you about it when she has come to terms with it. She does not want you to worry about her.
My sister was more upset than I when I found out I had BC. When you are the patient you know you have to fight and its easier than being a carer I think.
Hope you have been to the beach today as its a lovely day.
Hi Beach Girl, I agree with Sue, it is easier being a patient than a carer in many ways. As a patient you get on with fighting this thing. As a carer you must feel helpless looking on. All I can suggest is that you be there for your sister when she needs you, which I'm sure you will be. If she doesn't want to talk about it or worry your family I suppose you have to accept that too. Why don't you point her in the direction of this site. Who knows, maybe she'd love the opportunity to get some things off her chest to people who aren't so closely involved. Best wishes to you both, Christine xx
Hi, I found out yesterday that my Dad has secondary Lung Cancer too. I haven't been able to find out much info yet but also found this site and hoped that joining it would help. I don't know what it means now that he has it and Mum & Dad haven't really told us much but to be fair I don't think they know much yet either. Good Luck with your journey x
