Just curious - how is everyones family handling this?

2. My sister tried everything but is now out of options and it's just a matter of time, for her

I was over to see her, yesterday. She is pretty much paralyzed, now. I suspect the chemo did more damage to her system than the cancer would have. It's convinced me that should I ever have to face that diagnosis, I'd just get my card and made the best of the time I had left.

I've decided that when I am with her, I'm just going to carry on conversations like I always have - update her on work place gossip, family news, and just plain chat. She really seemed to brighten up when I did that, yesterday, and I think her speech even became clearer.

Her kids have come to terms with what's happening, faster and better than I have. Her husband is now, finally, facing the reality that he's soon going to lose his wife of 34 years.
