  • Hi Sam, 

    Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to hear about your sister's diagnosis.

    It's always tough being far away from family at such a difficult time but it's great that you're trying to see your sister even if it has been unsuccessful so far. Is there a specific reason you have been turned away each time you have tried to see her? Would it be possible to stay with your dad for a few days and then go and visit your sister or could you try phoning your sister's husband and tell him how you feel if you haven't done so already?

    Many of our members will understand what you're going through having been in similar situations with their families and friends and I'm sure they will post soon to offer their advice and share their experiences with you.

    Wishing you all the best,
