My sister has been battling acute myeloid leukemia since early March, last Sunday when.I visited her in hospital she told me that the doctors told her it is no terminal and that she may have weeks/months
she is being discharged home tomorrow where she lives with her husband and son and I of course will be on hand to help care for her. The hospital hasn’t given any of us advice on what to do for her or what to expect in the next few weeks. She is being so strong and matter of fact about the diagnosis whilst all around her we are falling apart (i might add, never in her presence). I just needed to share this with someone outside of the family as I find it difficult to speak to them as they of course are going through the same feelings. My husband is also a great support but i dont want to burden him with to much either.
thanks for taking the time to read this, it has made me feel a little better just getting it out there. Im going to see her today and will ask at the nurses station if there is anyone that can talk me through a few things. Take Care
