Hi Nanci,
I am in your shoes. I am caring for my sister who is in the last days of her battle with breast cancer. She is also my twin. I have been caring for her since October 2008. At least thats when her cancer had spread to her bones. Now it is everywhere. She is wearing out trying to fight. She is down to one lung and on 5liters of o2 and still struggles to breath. She has cancer spots still continuing to grow even on her head. Its killing me to watch her struggle and suffer . Im part of her and she is part of me. We been best friends from the very beginning and have done all the twin things! Only my faith in the Lord has given me the strength each day . My sister has the same love for the lord and never stops praying. I know that we will see each other again but I dont know how to live without her. She was there for me when I had bc in 2005. Toataly different tumors. I know all the emotions you are going through. Its like a rollar coaster each day for both of us. Its my first time posting, but I have been reading off and on since 2005. Wil be praying for you!
