Gut punch....good vibes needed.

FMM, on July 9, 2015 at 9:41 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 82

So besides FH there isn't anyone in my world that I can openly talk about this yet, mainly because it's not my place too.

My sister announced to me yesterday that she is sick...she couldn't give me specific name but she has been diagnosed with an auto immune disorder (don't know what one but they have been testing her for lupus forever) but also that her cells came back with a cancer marker.

She is now undergoing treatments (not chemo or radiation....some other injection) to help her body stop attacking itself.

This news hit me like a ton of bricks, she is so positive and she has all this faith in her doctors.....she didn't want to worry me so she was trying to stay upbeat. I lost it.

Out of the millions of people in this world...even just the people in my family, my sister is the last person who deserves to go through this. She is the kindest, most incredible person and I can't believe this.

    I want to be with her so bad, but a 3000 mile trip isn't in the cards right now Smiley sad

    Please send good vibes to her... She has 6 more treatments left and so far side effects aren't to bad.

    The world is just so unfair.

    Sorry FMM! Thoughts and prayers to your sister. Its the worst when you can't be by their side even just for a hug or shoulder to cry on. Stay positive, you sister sounds like a fighter and a happy person.

    I just realized how disjointed this post reads... sorry..

    Thank you all.. I've mentioned on here a few times how much my sister means to me so it's hard knowing I can't take the fear and pain away for her.

    Oh FMM I am so so sorry to hear this. But you know what? I really believe that positivity can work wonders with healing and it sounds like your sister has a lot of it. The world is very unfair and I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this right now. Let yourself be sad and mad about it as much as you need to. When you're ready, do what you can to be positive for your sister in the times that she might not be able to stay positive. There will be lots of scary times through this process but it will bring you and your sister closer together, even if you can't physically be there. Push through the bad times one day at a time, and embrace the good milestones - there will be many, you just have to keep an eye out for them. You will get through this. She will get through this. She is lucky to have a sister like you who cares so much about her. Take care of yourself. I really mean that. Listen to your heart and your body and do what they tell you to do, even if that means being really really sad or really really angry. It's okay, and it's all going to be okay. I am sending so so many positive vibes to both of you. Please keep us posted on how she's doing.

    Prayers and good vibes to you and your entire family. Nothing like this is easy. Unfortunately I know first hand. Your sister sounds like a strong women with a great attitude. That positivity means everything!!! Help her keep that attitude going and she will pull through the other end!

    I'm sorry you and your family are experiencing this. My sister has a chronic disease also, and it tears me apart knowing that I can't take her place or make her better. I would sacrifice any part of my body or life for her, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that. When she is having a bad few weeks or few months I feel so helpless. We just have to have faith in the treatments and hope that things will work out for the best, even if "the best" changes in your situation.
