My sister is 51 diagnosed last June 2019 with stage4 colon cancer . She’s battled all year they said it was treatable 3 weeks ago said chemo not working nothing they could do . She’s had chronic back ache since lockdown . Only just found spots on neck and base of spine . Said radiotherapy would sort that sent her to hospice today which we were told was for recuperation . They’ve now told her she probably won’t come out of the hospice .
im heartbroken . She’s my best friend and sister . We speak every day . She’s so calm about it and said she knew . I’m grieving now and she’s still here . How do you cope . I can’t stop crying . Any advice please .
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that your sister has recently been told that there is nothing more that can be done for her colon cancer. It must be a very difficult time for the whole family.
I think the pre-grief that you're experiencing is typical when someone close to you has been diagnosed as terminal. I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you join the Supporting someone with incurable cancer forum group as it's a safe and supportive place to discuss the prospect of losing your sister as well as talk about how to cope and practical issues around your sister's care. If you'd like to join then just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there.
