Hi all, I lost  my sister to Myeloma a year and a half ago. After 3 years of fighting  this cancer she died  just after  Xmas.  I have a lot of unanswered questions from that day. She went into hospital  because  she  couldn't breathe.   I spoke to her in the morning,  thinking  she would go on a  nebuliser and be OK. When I arrived at the hospital she was in an induced coma, and on a breathing  machine.  After 2 days they turned it off and she passed.  But I keep  thinking  was there more we could have asked or done.  Is this how most cancer patients  pass at the end. I feel I could have asked more questions.  I cannot get over losing  her, as everyone who loses a loved one. 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your sister and the journey you find yourself on.

    The lose of a family member can be such a challenging and stressful time but getting support from others who are dealing with the ‘exact same' challenges can help a lot.

    The Community is actually divided into Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so you may benefit from joining and posting in our dedicated Bereaved family and friends support group where you will connect with others navigating the exact same challenges.

    To join a group first click on the “Bold Link” I have created above then once the group page opens click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)

    You can then put up your own post when you’re ready by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post. You can also scroll through other members posts and click “Reply” to get involved.

    Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
