Hi All, 

I do not have cancer myself, but my Sister in law- has been diagnosed with Secondary Oesophageal Cancer metastasised to lungs and Lymph nodes. 

She was today given two months to a year to live, it just feels strange, its like you look at her and think its not real, because she doesn't look ill, its like someone with a silent disability, you can't see it so people think it can't be there, but it is and its very real and you're going to lose this person you love and care for, sooner than you ever hoped. 

I desperately don't want her to be alone, she means the world to us, how can I help her be positive and hope that because of that she will have longer with us.

Cancer well and truly sucks, I've known too many people affected by it, I dream of the day when there is a cure, I mean they are doing amazing things now, my cousins husband has cancer which is stage 4, he was given a year but is still here, that was in 2020. 

I just wanted somewhere, where I can see what is to be expected as we want to be able to support her every step of the way.
