Unhappy My SIL is loosing her battle with breast cancer

Hi. I just wanted to post somewhere where it would be understood. My sister in law has Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and it has spread rapidly throughout her whole body, it went to her blood, then her eye, then her bones, then her brain, then her other eye, and now her other breast. Last week they gave her a total of 14 Weeks to live. It is so hard on us all. Especially my brother. He and his wife were only married one year when they found out she had breast cancer. Now it will take away the only woman he has ever truly loved. He spent 17 years in the service and met her after retirement, she was his first wife. It is just so sad. She is in complete and utter denial and has refused hospice services. I am just worried about my brother. Through all this he plans on adopting her daughter from a previous marriage. I guess that is commendable of him, but I just am worried he may be making a mistake. Thanks for letting me vent.

Gwen

Re: My SIL is loosing her battle with breast cancer

I'm so sorry, no words are good enough at this time of great sadness. You sound so caring of your brother and his wife. My sister has just been told she has a lobula lesion and is waiting test results, we are terrified of bad news.

I am so sorry for you all it is not fair that good people suffer like this. I am a nurse and visit people who are dieing at home I work nights at the moment and see young people ill from cancer, it breaks my heart especially when they have young children.

God Blesss you all and I hope your sister in Law can find peace and your brother strenght to carry on with such a caring sister.....
