My sister has just been diagnosed with PC, liver secondaries and yesterday they told us it has gone to her lungs. I feel broken. What do I say to her when I go see her? How can I comfort her.
In my experience the best thing is just to be there for your relative. Be guided by how they behave. If they want to talk about their illness, that's fine. But if they don't that's fine too.
Try to take one day at a time. Believe it or not there will be some good days and some less good.
I’m in the same position as you. My sister came to live with me when she found out and it’s a tough situation to be in. I still wonder what to say to her. If I’m really honest, I feel guilty that she’s dying and I’m not, she’s in her 40’s. I try to help her stay in control of this as much as she can with what happens next and I talk to her about all of the things that she wants to do while she is well enough.
I'm sorry for us all that we are in this situation. Sending hugs x
Hi Nessienoggins, my husband has just turned down any further treatment, he had one cycle of Folfirinox and reacted badly to it and lost a lot of weight. Sending love to you x
My husband was also just diagnosed and has had one chemo treatment. I don't know if I should act normal or what??? He is very quiet with family and when he goes to the dr or friends are around he puts on a show. I just don't say a word about that. I don't want to be a crying mess if he isn't. Also they tell him if chemo shrinks the tumor he may be approved for surgery. Prayers for you both!
