Her Life. My heartache.

My younger sister has Ca.Lungs Liver Spine & recently Brain. Still working/ socialising & works hard being positive. she's alone in US. I nursed her for 6months last when given weeks to live. Returned massively improved last September. Now ill again & won't come home. Running till she drops. Am gutted she'll die alone. Her choice. Her life. Feeling useless & empty. 

  • Hi AliTw,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your sister - I can imagine this must be tough with her being so far away. Hopefully there is some comfort to be taken in that she is making her choice with this and doing what she wants to be doing.

    Hopefully you are able to be in contact with her and I'm sure she knows how much you care and want to support her. It's easier said than done but try not to feel useless - it sounds like there isn't more that you could be doing.

    Hopefully also you have others around you for support and to speak to. We are of course always here for support on the forum too.

    Keep looking after yourself.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
