My sister got 18months to live after treatment cervical cancer

Hi Sisterlovexx my sister also had cervical cancer and passed away so I understand what you are going through. She was 27 and I was 30, she had her whole life ahead of her.

If it helps any, we just spent as much quality time together as we could. Let her live her best life, be normal with her as well as offering your love and support. It’s difficult for anyone to understand the bond sisters have, you’ll get through it. 
later when she got worse, I’d sleep over at the hospital in her bed with her and we’d gossip and whisper like we were kids again. Makes me smile just remembering it.

my sister was also stubborn but she was also very very scared. Once we became comfortable talking about it properly, it really helped both of us. She used humour as a weapon. I just joined in.

call Macmillan to ask for support, they’re wonderful people and it really does help. 

Thank you so much and I'm sorry for your loss her age was nothing bless her.. we just keep going on as normal as can be... I've even made plans to marry my partner so she can walk me down the aisle ... shes doing great as can be thank you so much x

Sisterlovexx I am so sorry to read about your sister, it's just awful and heart-breaking. :( 

My sister passed away this summer after they found secondary metastasis early this year and she was told she had 6 months to live. She was my absolute hero. I was glad to help her however I could, with things round the house, then helping her as she got weaker, but I know that it must have been a silent blow in a way, as she was always the one looking after me.  She was so strong willed and independent, loved life and wanted to do so much in her final months - I was always frantically worrying inside if it would be too exhausting, or anything bad would happen etc. It's such a hard balance to try and find. All I will say is there's still so much living ahead no matter what the prognosis - and being excited over plans and wishes is such a lift to them I'm sure. You can always just let her know there's an opt-out too, if she's too tired one day you can just stay in bed and watch movies etc and you will be just as happy. Take each day as it comes, then the next. 

I know counselling was so helpful for my sister, so she should get something set up through Macmillan - they really are an amazing support.

Congratulations on your wedding, it will be so special to have your sister there and making cherished memories together xx

Awe I'm so sorry for your sisters loss its heart breaking .. my sisters been given the choice for chemotherapy to give her more of a chance of living a little longer but shes not too sure about it as she thinks it's going to make her more poorly... it's a terrible thing for any family to go through.. but shes opened up and says when she becomes ill she doesnt want to be in hospital so she will come and stay with me at my home... shes along way to go but shes opening up about what funeral she wants cremation or burial so we both going to put it in writing with help from her nurse n Macmillan too... we making lots of memorys now even tho we have loads from being kids to adults shes so strong and I'm so proud of her. Xx

This thread is so beautiful it has really helped me with my struggle to come to terms with the journey I’m on with my husband. I lost my best friend to cancer in August and she was my sister. I don’t have a sister but if I did it would have to be you two… much love ️ 

Bless her it's such an impossible decision to have to make. Hopefully, one she can think on for at least a little bit if she needs. I really feel for you and your situation, it's just awful and you just wouldn't wish it on anyone. :( Feel free to drop me a private message if you want to chat about anything or have any questions. We also took my sister home in the very end and nothing can ever really prepare you for that, it was a really really difficult time. We are all trying to remember the good times now and not dwell on the cancer that took her from us as best we can.
