My poor husband, now that our ordeal with my bc has come to where we can breath and start to enjoy life again, his sister is in the hospital due to her Pancreatic Cancer and not doing good (she was dx back in June 2010) it has now spread and taken over her stomach and other parts of her body and she is bleeding out. This is his only sister and he is in a lost. Not only cause its his only sister, but we live in Florida and she lives in Chicago. Im currently out of a job and he is our main bread winner, but thankfully My family has stepped up and given us money so when the time comes and she passes we can all go to Chicago. So gratful I have such a wonderful family.

    Lupe,
    I am so sorry for the sad news of your Sister in law. That has to be so very difficult for your husband and the family. It's a beautiful thing when family rallies around to help and support in a time of need.

    Praying for you,

    your husband has you too help him through his tough times now.
    And you are a wonderful, strong and caring person. Together you
    can get through it. It only speaks volumes how much worry about
    your husband's feelings.

    Sorry you are having such a tumultuous time. Distance makes everything
    only harder. I went through the same horrible experience of not being able
    to be there with my mom. What a great thing to do for your family to step
    in and help.

    His poor sister seems to be having a really rough time. I hope they can
    find a way to make as pain free as possible for her.

    Hugs,
