Hi 

First time poster.

My sister in law got diagnosed on Thursday with Stage 4 terminal lung cancer. It has spread to her spine and lymph nodes. This has completely shocked and devastated us as she hasn't even been very ill and is a non smoker. She had a persistent cough at the end of last year with a clear xray in November (turns out the tumour was "hiding" behind her ribs) she is 52, a year younger than me. Her brother, my husband has already lost their dad and two years ago their other sister to Lung cancer , she was only 46. He is not really showing his emotions although I know he is devastated. I can't stop crying and I'm so sad and scared for what happens next, I have never had any experience with dealing with something like this with someone I'm so close to (she is my best friend and like a sister) I just feel so alone and don't know how to help her.

Thank you for reading. It's 2.13am and I can't sleep
