Not a lot of time left

My sister has finally been told that she is dyeing from Peritoneal Mesothelioma. she has been so strong and has fought this thing all the way. she had the major op in Sydney and came home. she was never well but still fought the battle fought for as long as she could.

she has to make a decision to have another op and more Chemo but it’s not going to save her life. she is totally devastated.

All her life she has been strong until the last few months and we can see she is struggling with trying to keep warm, keep food down and just stay focused on the road ahead.

We have no idea what is in store over the next few months and we can only walk the road beside her and give her support.

Sad
Linda

Hi Donna
thank you for your support.
My sister just rang at lunch time to say they cant do another op and that she will start 8 weeks of Chemo next monday. she is dissapointed that they will not opertate again so is hoping the chemo will give her more time.
she is fighting this thing full on and we, along with her husband and family are all fighting it with her.

i guess its a wait and see game but a very rough one at that.
I wish you and your little boys all the best and will add you in my prayers.
