Sending safe virtual hugs to you and your sister. She must be feeling really shattered by all that life has thrown at her in recent years. Does she have children or other family to support her? I think you mentioned she lives in Scotland so obviously a long, long way from you. On the plus side, there have been some wonderful advances in cancer treatment in recent years and I hear of many patients who have gone on to live happy lives for years after their initial diagnosis. Don't give up hope xxx
I hope you and your own family are all well and not going stir-crazy yet.5 -
