Your situation sounds so similar.  I lost my sister on the 11th Dec.  She was also 51, myself 42.  She was not only my sister but my best friend.  We called each other constantly, went away together, told each other everything.  In honesty I don't think it's truly sunk in yet.  Just wanted you to know you're not alone and there is someone here who feels exactly the same.  Sending love xx

I'm so sorry to hear of your sister passing.

Yes our situations are very similar. Its hard to accept that they are no longer here with us. My heart goes out to you.

Thankyou for your reply to my post, it does make you realise others are going through this experience and you aren't alone.

Always available if you need to chat. Its very therapeutic. 

My sister was my life, being with someone so close from the day you were born, building memories and a unique bond, I feel so sad that she has left my side for now but so grateful that we had those years together. 

Please take care and thankyou for your message. 

With heartfelt condolences xxxx

I also lost mine recently. She left behind a little 3 year old and we are all heartbroken. I'm not coping well at all...

Hi, I am really so sorry for your loss. 

My heart goes out to you and your family and your sisters little one.

Always here for a chat if it makes you feel any better. I do think talking helps but that's just me. 

You're in my heart and thoughts xxx

Thank you. Yes talking helps but hardly anyone I know has been in this awful situation so talking to someone who really understands will help me a lot. I didn't know cancer could take someone so quickly and thought the chemo was working. It's terrible. Christmas just a blur. Lots of love to you too. I feel so sad for my poor parents..

It is an awful time and certainly not the way nature intended for parents to lose their child in this way. Im so so sorry.

My sister was diagnosed 19months ago but the cancer had already become metastisised. Initially the bowel and the ovaries were secondary of which she had a bowel.resection and ovaries were removed but it had already gone to the liver and that is what caused her to be terminal. 

She had 3 variations of chemo, lost sensation in her fingers and feet but the consultant said they had exhausted all chemo options in September so there was no further treatment.

As we could see my sister fading away it was the most awful time but we were able to plan drives out on good days. She was able to spend time with her family and especially her children and grandchildren. 

My parents are still alive and are also having a difficult time. 

Im so sorry for you and your sister. It sounds as though your sister went far too quickly which I feel doesn't give time to process what is happening. 

My heart is with you and your family. Always here for a chat. 

Heartfelt condolences to you all xxxx

Thank you. We found out that she knew how advanced it was but either through hope or denial didn't tell us... so we had 6 days from finding out the treatment wasn't working. Still reeling from the shock and I'm so sad that she didn't want to worry us. Thank you for your reply, lots of love
