Hi to all.

My sister had her fibroids and uterus and overies removed and was advised to do 6x chemo but she only got as far as 3 sessions and couldnt stand the effects of it. She would be restless at night, want to sleep during the day, started to lose appetite and frequently throw up small amounts of fluids and whatever she ate.

After CT and PET scans and blood tests she was diagnosed with figo grade 3 uterine cancer, she was in septic shock, BP was low, there is some internal bleeding at the surgery site, and there is thrombus or blood clots along one side of her body with her leg swelling up with fluid. She is also a stroke survivor.

There are major complications in the body such that the thrombus is extensive and cannot be effectively treated with blood-thinners and she has been given a very very bleak prognosis. It seems the cancer was caught too late or spread aggresively.

I have not spoken to my sister about her diagnosis or her condition as i do not know what to say and I am sure she might be thinking why I or my family are not talking to her about this.

Has anyone been in this situation?

How to I start or have a conversation with her?

Thanks in advance for your input and thoughts
