A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat forum PamCIzzy although I'm very sorry to hear that your sister, B, has end stage pancreatic cancer and is being cared for at a hospice.

This must be extremely difficult and I can't begin to imagine what you must all be going through at the moment, but our community are here for you PamCIzzy, and hopefully it won't be long until some of our members stop by to share their thoughts and advice.

In the meantime, if you are in touch with your sister's medical team maybe you could discuss your concerns with them. It’s understandable that the prognosis your sister has been given might be difficult for her to process, so they may be advise you on how to navigate future conversations about this. We also have a section on our forum that gives information and advice on how to cope with the news that you are dying, include guidance on talking about dying, that may prove useful as well.

I know there's nothing more I can say or do that will make this any easier but I really do hope the support you receive from our community can give you some much needed strength and comfort at this very challenging time.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
