Hi,
My sister has been diagnosed with stage 2 Hodking Lymphoma. She starts chemo on Monday, yep, just before Christmas. She is in good spirit and feeling super positive. She has a good support network at home, including a partner, three very close friends and my mum, who's 84 but willing and able to look after her (my mum was a nurse).
I live in another country and I am broken inside. I so desperately want to be there for her, with her. To cry, to laugh, to just be. Whatever she needs or wants. I want to be there.
But I have 2 small children here and I can be away from them 2 to 3 nights at the time, at a push. I have booked a flight home every month for the next 6 months to be with her for 3 nights/4 days to coincide with her chemo treatments but I would love to be able to do more. I can't get over the fact that she'll have to go through this without me. I can't drop everything and go. Or maybe I should?
Thank you for listening x
