well the time has finally come. my sister is in hospital, not eating, vomiting and not good at all. she has had the biggest battle on her hands and has been awesome through the last two years.
she is still pushing everyone away and taking it all on her shoulders.
she does not want us rushing up to see her as in her words "i makes it final". so what the hell do we do?
i live 7 hours away and would love to jump in the car and just go but will that be against her wish or do i just go. i text her and she tells everyone i am prestering her.
i can understand she is frightened and i also understand why she does not want to see family but its too hard and i want to get off this roller coaster ride but i dont know how. she is my big sister.
to go or not to go. will i regret it if i dont.

on Thursday morning we lost a beautiful lady, my Aunty, to Amyloidosis.
I had never heard of this form of cancer until not long ago when a friends husband died of it and now its taken my Aunty.
she leaves behind five wonderful children who will say goodbye to her next friday.
on top of that i am watching my sister slowly die from peritoneal mesothelioma. this latest news has knocked her for six and we hope it will not send her backwards.
sometimes i hate this world we live in and just wish Cancer was never heard off.
its one day at a time for now, for all of us.

Hi Donna
thank you for your support.
My sister just rang at lunch time to say they cant do another op and that she will start 8 weeks of Chemo next monday. she is dissapointed that they will not opertate again so is hoping the chemo will give her more time.
she is fighting this thing full on and we, along with her husband and family are all fighting it with her.
i guess its a wait and see game but a very rough one at that.
I wish you and your little boys all the best and will add you in my prayers.

My sister has finally been told that she is dyeing from Peritoneal Mesothelioma. she has been so strong and has fought this thing all the way. she had the major op in Sydney and came home. she was never well but still fought the battle fought for as long as she could.
she has to make a decision to have another op and more Chemo but it’s not going to save her life. she is totally devastated.
All her life she has been strong until the last few months and we can see she is struggling with trying to keep warm, keep food down and just stay focused on the road ahead.
We have no idea what is in store over the next few months and we can only walk the road beside her and give her support.

i am not sure where to start this time as it feels like its all happening again, but this time to my daughter.
she is only 34 and has had to have ultra sounds and mammy's for a while now due to my sister and myself. this time the Dr felt a lump and has sent her to Charlies for a check up.
she had that appointment two weeks ago and they are not happy and want to do a MRI as they have found two areas of concern. I have my fingers and toes crossed that it will be fine. i just dont need this as she is too young and has 2 boys to take care of.
i know i need to keep positive but its a bit hard. we are all having to dealing with my sister at the moment with her cancer (Peritoneal mesotheliomar) and try to be positive for and its not easy as we as a family know what is going to happen.
we can only assure our daughter that she is young and healthy and that we will be with her all the way in what ever they tell her over the next few months.

Hi Kitty
my sister is doing really well now and had her check up last week. they have told her the cancer is not there anymore.
she is struggling to put on weight tho. she is back playing tennis and doing so well.
for someone that was told to get her life in order this is amazing.
cheers

Hi diannep52
the site was my life line while having radiation and it was also where you could say what you think and no one gets upset.
we are all on here for some reason or another and sometimes we just cant be on it every day.
i would love to be able to chat to all, but time does not permit.
i do try to login in once a week just to check on everyone and to see what they are up too, so keep posting your news and you never know, we might be able to chat.
cheers
Linda
