Fisherman Mike Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 That's terrible news.. I don't know if there is a God but you all have my Prayers nonetheless...I've lost 2 very close friends and my Father to the disease this last 12 months and they and their immediate family all coped with it in different ways. My Father for instance tried chemo but then refused it and settled for excellent palliative care until he passed away. His life expectancy was the same Chemo or not so he decided to embrace it and enjoy the time he had left... My advice to your family is to accept all the help you can from the various organisations available... who in my experience are just Brilliant.

figgy Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry to hear this mikky. As an eldest out of three I know what it's like to be the one who they turn to help sort their problems and also what it's like to lose one. The feeling of helplessness when you can't do anything. Life is a bitch sometimes, stay strong and enjoy all the time you can with her. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therealchucknorris Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 You'll do your nut if you try to control a situation like this. Just being there for her and spending as much time with her as possible will lift her spirits and improve whatever time she has left. It's a horrible all too common issue nowadays, with 1 in 3 people getting cancer you just can't avoid it. Time is the most precious thing you can offer her. My dad died 10 days ago and we didn't even know he was ill. I'd love to have spent some more time with him and I've been kicking myself every day for things I wish I'd done with him...Don't let that happen to you mate. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Really sorry to hear mikky, thoughts are with you and your little sister, try and keep positive and work out the things you are able to do together to make the most of time, whilst keeping hope.

HDAV Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Really sorry to hear that mikky, don't know what I would if it were my little sis. Be strong and enjoy every day from now on, you have my thoughts and best wishes. Henry d I supported a cyberknife appeal at barts in a very small way, glad to hear it has made an impact.

Lord Geordie Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Unfortunately there is nothing I can say to make things better! But I can perhaps offer a little comfort in letting you know you are not alone in the dark! There are a whole lot of us here in your corner! Having been in your situation I can sympathise! I felt useless not being able to do anything but offer support! The funny thing is, that is the most important thing they need! You can't treat them! But you can offer the most important aspect that any person needs when undergoing treatment or getting the bad news! Support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
