Hi, I haven’t posted for a while but just need to vent on here I suppose…my sister who is 48 has stage 4 pc spread to lymph nodes, blood vessels and liver, she had her first chemo around 6 weeks ago but had a bad reaction so couldn’t finish the course, since then she has had sepsis, 2 vomiting bugs and is still recovering from this, she’s trying so hard to get her strength up for more chemo but something always knocked her back down at every turn, I really don’t know how she finds the strength to keep going, she’s gone through so much since her diagnosis 4 months ago. At the moment she spends her days in the hospice mainly sleeping due to the meds making her tired all the time, it’s like time is just passing her by and I know she’s really fed up with it all, she just wants to be able to go outside maybe and stay awake long enough to talk to someone or even watch telly but it isn’t happening. I’m heartbroken seeing the effects of this cruel disease on my beautiful sister, I just wish I could take it all away for her
Thankyou for your reply, and I’m sorry to hear you’re going through all this aswell with your husband, it really is heartbreaking and the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming at times as all we c
do is sit and just be there, she’s so strong and has taken everything head on, done everything the doctors have asked but still seems to have got nowhere, I just pray this next chemo will help contl the tumour, but at the same time I’m dreading it for her. She is now seeing black shapes/blobs in her vision and is sometimes confused and has slight twitches throughout the day, it’s all so sad, is cruel disease has literally ripped her life as she knew it away
