jump_4_eva 0 #1 December 10, 2005 My sister has brest cancer. What do I do? How do I help or take care of her? She has a husband but I have always been the care taker since my dad left us at a wee age of 2 and 4. Sorry to be such a downer but I need to get things off my chest.

mailin 0 #2 December 10, 2005 You can help just by being there for her to talk to, and offer support. It can be hard, but she has her husband for all that 'take care of important stuff' now - just being there is the best thing you can do for her JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jojo69 0 #4 December 10, 2005 I am sorry to hear about your sister. It is always scary to hear that someone you love has cancer. I send you and her healing wishes. I have no great words of advise. I can only advise you to be available for her. She will need to have a safe place to go to discuss all her fears. Do not ever be afraid to cry with her. Sharing the burden always makes it easier to carry. There are great things happening in the area of breast cancer. Hold to hope and keep positive.

Sen.Blutarsky 0 #5 December 10, 2005 QuoteWhat do I do? What you absolutely do NOT do is try and shoulder the burden alone. I would suggest that you contact the American Cancer Society and similar groups immediately. They have programs and networks which really help people in your position every day. (I called on the American Brain Tumor Association and similar groups when my sister was first diagnosed with her brain tumor.) Hang in there dearie. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!
