hi everyone, just looking for somewhere to speak to people who are in the same position as me, 2 and a half years ago my sister was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, she had some chemo but the doctors said it was to advanced to cure, anyway she has fought the battle of her life, never once giving in to it she really is my hero the way she has coped, unfortunately though yesterday she suffered a stroke and the cancer has spread to her brain, i am devastated, i went to see her today at the hospital and just fell apart, how do people cope with see a loved one going through this after putting up such a brave fight, i should be strong for her but today ive just been a wreck, i tried so hard to not cry in front of her just sat holding her hand and talking to her, but i feel emotionally drained, sorry for the long post i didnt know where else to turn.
To be honest, I have found it difficult living with my mother having cancer and have on occasions broke down a few times at night when explaining to my little sister that mummy has cancer and that she might die soon :(.
I have posted a thread on here so feel free to have a look and Comm on it ;).
