Hi I am here because my sister was diagnosed in Oct of 2017 with colon cancer and in Feb 2018 with lung cancer. She had surgery to remove the colon cancer and half the upper part of her lung removed. But the big but tumors keep coming back with her team giving no chemo nor radiation. So sorry for being so long I feel so helpless because I am.
Hi Braxton and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that your sister has been diagnosed with lung cancer after previously having colon cancer. It must be an extremely worrying time for you all especially as her tumours keep returning.
It's natural to feel helpless and want to be able to do more for your sister and you might find this information from Macmillan on ways to help when someone you know has cancer helpful.
Could I suggest that you join the family and friends group which is a safe place to discuss your worries and emotions and get support.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself or post a question after selecting 'start a discussion' or join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
