My daughter has recently been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer . She has an appointment with the surgeon at the end of this week. she will be 57 in july , has 2 children , son is 28 , daughter is 23 . she lives alone but has family nearby . She has a new grandson , 6 mths old and hasn't seen him since he was 1 month old. She has issues with her son . She's on a mission to alienate her sisters too . As far as we know she has a good prognosis but insists she can feel the cancer spreading . She is telling family she's dying and using it as guilt strategy . She has cut her sister out of her life , We don't know how to help her , what are our options ?
regards
