Asking for a little prayer...

Oh ((((Linda))))... I'm so sorry for this latest news.

+1000 on what Crankin said... I know that this must be very hard on your sister, but we are here for you too.

My thoughts are with your family. (hugs)

I am so sorry Linda. ((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))). When my Dad went through lung cancer, he initially chose chemo, even though they said it may only extend his life 6 months at the most. At that point, he felt like he needed to at least try something and was not willing to "quit" yet. This is how he viewed it and it is a very personal decision and one that only your sister can make knowing she has the full love and support of her wonderful sister and family in whatever her choices. For my Dad, the chemo did not help. It only made his last few months that much more painful and I wish he would not have suffered like that, but, it made him feel that he went down fighting and that's what he needed.

You and your sister are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear this latest news. I know you are a great support for your sister, and will give her strength and love.

Linda - I'm so sorry to hear the latest. My thoughts are with both you and your sister in this difficult time. I agree with Norsegoddess - the decision has to be hers. Some would choose to fight no matter what the cost and what the outcome, others would rather not. The choices is so incredibly personal and it's up to you to 1) support her no matter what her decision and 2) take care of yourself too.

Just being with her will bring her comfort. You both are in unchartered waters and there's no how-to guide for dealing with cancer. Comfort becomes a priority and she will need you as she comes to terms with her cancer. There will be an ebb and flow to her acceptance of the disease and with time together you both can help determine the course of action for her treatment.

I have no comprehension of how difficult this must be for your sister and yourself, so I have no advice. Instead I'm sending some positive vibes and thoughts your way!

Listen to her and let her talk. I was just visiting with a friend today who is in the late stages of cancer. She's very frustrated that she can't finish all the things she set out to do. She also talked about some regrets. And reflected on what a good life she has had and all the wonderful things she has done and all the incredible people she has met. I just let her talk and we both just held each other and cried. I told her she is so loved. That's all I could think of to say.

My heart aches for you and your sister.

Thank you for the update. Healing thoughts and butterfly kisses coming your way! Keep up your faith that things will work! Don't ever give up. But I respect your sister wanting to live with the time she has left not feeling awful.
