My sister is trying her last try at chemo. The cancer is now in the bone marrow. She is ready to give up. I can feel it. I am supporting her in everyway but it is taking a toll on me. Just need to talk to people about it.

    Hi
    We met earlier today in the Chat room.

    I would advise expressing these same sentiments in the Breast Cancer discussion board if you have not already done so, Witch.

    In the meantime, continue to use this site, every aspect of it that you can. There is much support here.

    Continue to provide care for your sister. I have said time and again that to me the caregiver, the loving caregiver, has a more difficult task than the survivor, and I truly believe that.

    You and your sister are in my thoughts.

    Take care,

    Joe
