My sister

[MrsVino]

My beautiful sister has been diagnosed with incurable stage 4 brain cancer. She’s 61. My heart is breaking.
Our parents are 83. My Dad is in recovery from a major operation for stage four bowel cancer. He’s housebound and my parents are both fragile.
My parents know nothing about the depth of my sisters illness and she has specifically said that she doesn’t want them to know, so as to protect them as much as she can.
I get that.
I suffer already with horrible mental illness and have an anxiety disorder.
I feel utterly terrified. I am away in Europe currently as my husband works here and I needed to take the children to see him as well as have some support myself.
i don’t really know what I am asking for really but I am so scared and there is nothing I can do about any of it.

I am so sorry... I don't have any advice just sending a hug...

I'm so sorry. What a horrible shock. How is she in herself at the moment? Are there (non-curative) treatment options? All you can do is be there for your sister, but do look after yourself too. Are the hospice involved yet? If not, it's never too soon. They aren't just for end of life. They likely offer counselling (for family as well as the patient), complementary therapies and support groups, as well as symptom control and pain management. They can be a wonderful source of support.

I have stage 4 breast cancer in my 40's. I'm currently living pretty well, but I wouldn't be without the support of my lovely hospice.

Sending lots of love.

And to add : my husband emotionally abuses me sometimes . So there we go. Fucking shit is what it is

So sorry to hear this. I am sending you love , strength and a huge amount of hugs.
Thank you for your kind and caring words; it is so much appreciated.
Please do take care and wishing you the best of luck with everything ❤️

@MrsVinodo you have any support yourself? A good friend for example?

Not really tbh My two oldest friends live miles away.
it’s a bit difficult to say the least .
