Hi all, just joined.

Earlier this year, in the summer, my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer.  It was a very tough time for all because not only did she/we have that to contend with but my sister was my mums carer, they all lived together.  This meant mum had to go into care.

Won't go into details about that but she was not willing and made life really impossible for us. Eventually she had no choice but to go. Thankfully she seems to have accepted it better now.

Caroline (my sister,) is due to have her last chemo this Friday. She will then have another scan to see if it's still working.  After that she will just have Herceptin every (not sure if it's 3 weeks or 3 months) until it stops working. We don't know what happens when it stops working as Caroline prefers not to know.

I have found that I don't seem to be able to get any support for myself, which is why I've joined this site.

I'm not really sure if I'm dealing with it or blocking it out.

I'm hoping to read other people's stories and come to terms better with the situation.

That's all for now

Alison
