Morning, well where do I start !! How is it possible to have this happen?
In October my twin brother (we are 55) called my sister and I from USA to tell us he had prostate cancer, once after the initial shock had passed he was lucky he opted for the surgery we flew out to visit all is good and he is cancer free
In February after going on holiday with my sister and our best friend,y sister had a cough that she couldn't shake off, she had xrays steroids antibiotics nothing seemed to work. Then she was given the diagnosis of terminal lung cancer, treatable not curable with a possibility of 12/18 mths ideally. She had a 3 month treatment plan starting with chemo and then immunotherapy. She is now under MacMillan with a possible 3-4 wees, she was given this devastating news on 13/05 as I was diagnosed an hour earlier with breast cancer. My heart is breaking and I have so many emotions, my sister is my life she is strong and confident and the positive attitude one. I want to be with her 24/7 ,but she has a partner who is amazing, I know it's selfish but I always thought I'd be the one looking after her!! I just feel pushed out, she would be the one supporting me through my diagnosis and looking after me I just want to do the same. HELP I'm losing my head.
