Hi my beautiful sister was diagnosed with bone mets 3 years ago ( before knowing she had ilc). 2 sisters out of 4 of us. She lives in the states and i'm in england. She told me today 'don't tell anyone but i'm going down hill' its the worst thing i ever heard. She is so bloody brave and has been tenacious in her fight, this is the first time she's said this or asked me not to tell the rest of the family. Thats why i'm telling you and asking for your support so i can stay strong for her. X xsteph

    Thanks so much kaara. I spent a couple of hours telling myself that she's feeling down but then why would she not want me to tell our mum or sisters.

    When i saw a post on this site that said 'i'm sick of being sick' i felt that others might understand how she's feeling x

    My sister was a dialysis nurse for 25 years. The year she was diagnosed she had been to india twice, to help set up and then open a kidney unit in jodphur. Back at home, she finally gave in and went to seek help, initially they thought maybe she had malaria as she always put her bone pain down to a scoliosis. When she finally was dragged to ER. Her hb was 7. Her platelets were 2 and she needed 7 transfusions before she was well enough to have chemo. She has somehow coped with 4 goes at chemo, radiation and also a IV radiation which was terrible. After all this and without hardly a moan i think, if she says that she is deteriorating, i must accept it but its really hard

    Cynsister:  I'm so sorry that you are going through this with your sister.  However, I thank God that your sister has you to confide in... sounded to me that she needed to say it and she chose you. You are probably thinking "why me?".  I suspect that she knew you would keep her confidence for the moment.   I  know how hard this is for you and your family.

    Take one day at time and make the most of the time you have now.  My prayers go out to you and your family. Connie
