Hi so sorry to hear your news, but you seem to be doing all the right things for your sister just been with her listening and letting her cry, as she must be trying to put a brave face on for her family, it shows how much she trusts you and at a time like this we all need that one special person. I am glad i found this site as my rock when my brother was dying from pancreatic cancer was my husband and sadly in May 2019 he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and spots on his lung so this site is where i get my strength from now,

Remember to look after yourself 

Hi, just read your post, so sorry to hear about your sister, tell her not to give up hope, I was diagnosed 5 years ago, straightaway with cancer in my breast, liver and bones (spine, ribs and pelvis) I don't know which type of breast cancer your sister has, mine is Her 2 positive, although this is a very aggresive form of breast cancer it is very treatable but unfortunately not curable once it has spread. I have targeted therapy every 3 weeks (just had my 86th). I have Ct scans every 6 months and remain very well. The treatment has virtually no side effect and I continue to work, and live life as normal, off to Greece for a holiday in a couple of weeks. I know everybodys case if different but thought if your sister reads this it might help her not feel so scared. Good luck, hope all goes well x

Thank you so much for replying.

I am so sorry about your experiences with this horrible disease.

I do hope everything goes as well as it can.

My sister received some good news that it isnt in her liver. Her cancer is still incurable but she has got a good chance to live for a few more years yet, so she has brightened up a bit. 

I wish you all the best xxx

Hi, thank you so much for replying.

I sent your message to my sister and together we done some research and she will be on target therapy. 

Your message really gave her a boost. She said 5 more years would be amazing as her son would be an adult by then.

She got some great news today that the cancer is not in her liver and although her cancer is incurable she now knows she has a good chance of a few more quality years with us. 

So i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my sister a little ray of hope.

I hope and pray that you continue to do well and have a fantastic holiday. 

Wishing you all the best xxx

Hi, I'm so pleased for your sister, not having it in her liver and bones only is even more reason to be positive.I know of one lady who has lived with it in her bone only for 12 years so far and there are many new treatments on the horizon. I have never experienced any pain from the cancer in my bones and wouldn't even know it was there ( I often joke they've made a mistanke and I don't have cancer at all because I feel so well) hopefully this will be your sister's experience as well. Please give my best wishes to your sister, I'm glad my reply went a little way in making her feel better xx
