Cancer is too spread

My sister is 46 years old has been diagnosed with terminal cancer . A week ago she was supposed to start the immunotherapy but she is to weak to be considered for the treatment . The doctors have said that they can do nothing more for her, the cancer is too spread ( liver, lungs, bones , spine ,brain ) and now she’s only kept on loads of painkillers. She doesn’t eat solid food and doesn’t drink either, all she gets is intravenously .

She is in a lot of pain , she’s only awake a few minutes a day when she is not really conscious .

Can you help her ? Is there any little chance for her to recover ??

  • Daniel being a sufferer with terminal out come too can identify. I think my love it is so hard you need to treat yourself and get your self as strong as possible. I know strong people give me strength. Darling there is a reality that she is very sick. Her spirit will never die. Allow yourself to feel what you feel. And just love her. Wish I could wave the magic wand for all of us. Hold on and love her whilst she is here. Enjoy,, Love Sarah xx
