My sister had her last pet scan. She was told specifically today she has less than a couple months

we knew the time was close, but to actually have it specified I fear it is much closer. She has lost over 100 lbs and is very weak.

She tries to put on a brave face because her husband is such a pansy but she is very sick.

10. Im sorry

please find a way to enjoy the time you have left with her. Writings, recordings, her voice saying hello, get this all now. Please help her in her transition and may your sister find fair winds and following seas on the next step we must all take.

[Docreed2003]

My heart breaks for you. I hope that you are able to have as much quality time as possible with your sister in the time she has left.

[onethatcares]

12. imagine

how it would be to have the money's expended on war dedicated to alleviating cancer in our country.

Maybe we could have done better, eh?

Best wishes to you and her. It's a hard row to hoe.

Sending you all my love and prayers.

[AJT]

18. What terrible news.

[lunatica]

19. How unbearably tragic.

Hugs to you and your family. Are they prescribing palliative care? I hope she can have you and the family near her.

[SheltieLover]

20. So sorry!

Vibes & hugs!

[marble falls]

21. Very tough news, I am sorry to hear it. Bless your sister, you and your families in these very ...

trying times to come.

[TNNurse]

22. The best thing you can do for her now is to listen to her needs.

Let her do or not do what she wants. She should see who she wants and not see them if that is her choice.

You have the chance to make her last days as good as they can be.

Is Hospice involved??? Please do that if not already, peace and comfort are the goals for her.

Will be thinking about all of you.

[ChazII]

33. TNNurse is giving good advice.

My son was on palliative care for one month and then hospice for a week. He passed March 6 of this year. It did keep him comfortable. Joining our DU family in prayers and keeping your family in our thoughts.

[japple]

23. May your sister find peace in her remaining time. I hope she has a good hospice provider.

She is so lucky to be surrounded by her sisters at this time. I can't imagine my life without my sister and I am crying as I post this.

[cate94]

24. I am so sorry!

It’s very difficult to watch a sibling go.

[malaise]

25. We're never ready

[Ferrets are Cool]

May peace find her, and you.

[NNadir]

29. You have my deepest sympathy.

[WinstonSmith4740]

30. So very sorry.

Went through it with my husband. Enjoy what time you have left with her. Exchange stories from your childhood. Hold each other close, and don't dwell on what will be, only what is. And unfortunately, be prepared for her husband to go into collapse. I honestly think men have a harder time coping...they're not prepared for their wives to leave before them. Are you hooked up with hospice? If she is on Medicare (can't speak to private insurance on this), they cover all expenses, from any mechanical device to morphine. They will come to her home and provide EVERYTHING she will need, and even guide you to support groups. And when Mike's time came, they handled all of that, too. They are truly angels on earth. They stayed in close contact with me for 6 months, just checking in to see how I was doing. Don't try to do this on your own. Message me if you want to talk, vent, or rage at the unfairness of it all. Because after all, my husband is gone, my best friend's husband had a widow maker heart attack, my sister's husband left us before his time, also. And Donald Trump is still alive.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Well, That's A Drag!

Take care & enjoy the time you have left. As hard as that may be.

[LiberalBrooke]

32. I'm so sorry. Virtual hug being sent.

[LaMouffette]

34. I can't imagine the anguish you must be experiencing right now.

My sisters are my best friends and losing one of them is unimaginable. God bless you and your sister, her husband, and the rest of your family, Demtenjeep! And know that the love you create in this lifetime lasts beyond this physical world.

[catbyte]

35. I'm so very sorry. It brings back memories of my dad's final days when he was dying of ALS.

It was also the most meaningful time I had with him. We talked about everything; laughing, joking, crying. I'm so thankful I had that time with him. Treasure every minute with her. My heart is breaking for you, my friend.

[Lonestarblue]

36. Sending good wishes to you and your family.

It’s always tough to lose a loved one. I would be devastated to lose my sister. Hang in there.

[GeoWilliam750]

37. Wishing you strength and solace

[LoisB]

38. If it must be, may the angels of The Universe accompany her and give you

strength.

[Tanuki]

39. How very sad for you and all those who hold your sister dear.

[MLAA]

60. Sending you and your dear sister 💕💕💕💖💖💕

I am especially glad she has you since it sounds like her husband isn’t up to the challenge to support her.

[peggysue2]

61. Sorry to hear this,demtenjeep

I lost my own sister this past January. Though I knew her early onset Alzheimers would take her in the end, it still came as a shock. And the end itself was quick as if she just started falling off a ledge. I was told she wasn't doing particularly well after the New Year, and then Boom! She was dead before the end of the month.

It hurts. Still does.

The best to you and your family.

[hamsterjill]

62. I'm very sorry.

Love her as best you can and help her be comfortable and open. Don’t shy away from anything that she needs to discuss. Let her say what she needs for peace.

Stay strong and try as best you can to also be kind to yourself. You are on her journey right now but this is also part of your life.

I lost my sister in 2017 and this is what I was told by someone, and it was so right.

Peace, comfort, light, love and prayers.

[Heartstrings]

63. I am so sorry....

[Nikki28]

64. So sorry

to hear of your sister. I know it has to be hard. I have been there. The best thing to do is let her know how much you love her and enjoy her time left. You have my deepest sympathy.

[demtenjeep]

65. Thank you all.

She is under hospice care. We knew her time was limited but to actually be given a specific time frame has just rocked our world.

We don't really know how to lose a sibling. She deserves much more than what she was given in life and her mess of a husband.

We -the other 5 siblings will make sure her last days are great.


I thank you all for letting me discuss it here. I don't have to be strong here but I do for my sister.

[Demonaut]

66. He's no Newt Gingrich, give him some slack

I'm sorry Demtenjeep

Hugz

[live love laugh]

71. I'm so sorry 😐 I sent up a prayer 🙏🏽 for you all. nt

[calimary]

72. Thinking of you, demtenjeep.

I’m so sorry.

I’m glad you’re here, now, when sympathy and moral support mean so much. Sure helped me get through it when my mom died, awhile back. I’m so glad you have this precious time with your sister. Sending love and solace and virtual hugs.

[sheshe2]

73. I am so very sorry, demtenjeep.

My thoughts are with you all.
