My younger sister is dying she was told she has only a few weeks to live.
Coby lives in the US, in a home, but now is in hospice
This is what I don’t understand.
The doctor found a large bruise on her breast and concluded that she had
advance breast cancer. No mammogram was taken.
Coby has not had a mammogram for years, perhaps never.........
What I also find very strange is that she has no pain what so ever.
Is this possible to have advance breast cancer not know it and have no pain all this time?
Second her heart is very weak that is most likely what will cause the end or both?
Coby has friends who take care of her and report to us.............
She does not want any one of us to come and see her.............
I am the oldest of six, my second sister smoked and worked with asbestos. bad combination
My only brother died of a heart attack and Coby is number three to go.
I have two younger sisters left they both live in Holland
The youngest is a heavy smoker and will not stop as she cares more about not getting fat.
The other sisters health is not the best, both are ten-12 years younger than I am
Both my parents are dead, my mom died at 94 years old of an aneurysm, she never knew what hit her
what a blessing. My dad died at 62 of long cancer.
Both families are wiped out, no one is left it sure feels weird for sure

What you're describing I've always been told it doesn't hurt.

I'm so very very sorry for your excruciating painteddybear

I've never had a mammogram nor a pap smear in my life I'm always being told off for that.bouquet

My mum use to look after cancer patients she told me it when they go through radiation that's the worse part but in saying that I presume it depends what kind of cancer I do know bone cancer is excruciating.

I don't want you to worry but I'm sure as time comes close she will need morphine ect

I will Googlewave

It isn't always painful to those suffering, it is to those seeing. To see someone change so much that you love. That the only thing that can ease that for all is pain free.

I watched my nan die of it. She wasn't in pain. It was painful to see her change so much. Just from personal experience.

Like your sister she was a Christian woman. Devout to the end.

Sorry to hear of your situation. It must be a help to have a strong religious conviction?

She will me made to feel comfortable until her organs start to pack up.
It starts with the lungs & works itself to other organs until eventually she will die of cardiac arrest.
Just spend as much time as possible with her. It's a very spiritual experience.sad flower

One and Foxy my sister does not want anyone of us to come to be with her.
I had gone to my other sister x amount of years ago and it turned out into a disaster.
So we will do as she is asking and not come............. wave

This must be painful for you also. I understand you respecting her wishes and staying put. This way you can remember her as you last seen her. My Mom seemed to have very little pain when she had cancer. She would not of even gone to a doctor but I noticed she didn't look quite right and asked her to go. I to lost both my parents. A month apart in 2005 and my husband in 2009. I still have family. Children grandchildren etc. Yet after losing my parents and husband I felt different. Alone. You see their are different types of love and all irreplaceable. Best wishes to you. Stay strong. hug
