second round of cancer in 4 years.
27 days ago my sister found out she has stage 3b breast cancer,we are both numb still weeks later. She is in a good state of mind and i am trying ,but there are days it feel s like my heart is breaking. We talk alot about it and we have done the crying,getting mad and so on and yet i feel so alone. I do not have too many people to talk to, i feel useless. I need to vent to someone other than my sister, she has enough to deal with i do not want to add more stress to her. She had colon cancer 4 years ago and so far all test all clear and now this. I had no one to help me with her recovery the last time and now well you get the picture.thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. Angel 1959.
Hi Angel,
I"m sorry for the difficult news. So you'll be taking care of her again? What a stressful situation, but I know that if I were your sister, I sure would be grateful that I have you. :)
We're here for you to vent and get advice, as often as you need. :)
Thank you , we have a older brother who does not handle news like this very well but he is trying to be more supportive than the last time, and the youngest sister just says well my plate is too full to do anything right now just keep her posted. POSTED i nearly screamed at her when she said that, we all have families to care for. She did the same thing when i took care of our dad who also had cancer, my sister who has the breast cancer also helped when she could she worked at the time but she was there when we needed her, our dad hung on for 6 months and passed away 2006.I have always been the big sister so to speak and thats ok, but (you know there is a but somewhere) haha! i need them (my family) to step up and support us. I work at least 50/60 hours a week to cover expences, my sister cannot work at all because of other medical problems, i take off work for all her appointments and i have to find transportation,cannot drive a stick tried but nope not me haha! We have to make do with what we have at the time, i know god will provide for us when we need it. But some days i feel worn out, am i being selfish? sometimes i have to wonder. well i guess i will close for now, thank you again. Sincerely, Angel.
