Hi, my sister has recently been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumers in the liver. She has been told its incurable and inoperable. They have started her on monthly hormone injections. She got the 1st the other day. She has been told she has maybe got 5-10 years. She has 2 and 4 year old little girls. I'm dealing with this news as best as I can but I would like to know how else to support her and I think my mum is needing support too. She is getting very angry and impatient with my sister and the girls but also getting very upset and irrational. I am trying to kepp everything together. I've moved out of my home to let my sister and the girls stay there. She is struggling with accomodation as the property she has is making her very anxious and her neighbours are awful. I just want to get her someplace nice for her last years and rhee is nothing out there. She is in my 1 bed flat now with is not ideal but nearer to family for help. I'm not sure what help is available but hoping someone here might have some ideas? I know I'm asking a lot.

Anyway thanks for reading and have a wonderful Christmas. My mulled wine is calling me.

Merry Christmas Christmas treeSanta

  • Hi and welcome to our community though sorry to hear about your sister, it does seem so unfair having the two small children to cope with as well.

    Sharing on here can be very helpful and of course there is a lot of information on the main site including Supporting a family member with cancer

    As the 4 year old starts school it is worthwhile considering bringing the teacher on board as then the school will ensure that there is a consistency of approach that can help to make life more secure for them.
