Hello. I've just found this site and thought I'm at the point where I need some advice and hope that I might find someone on here who might be able to help. My sister has recently been told that her stage IV breast cancer is now in bones, liver, lung lining and now some in her brain. She is a single mother with 2 little girls to look after. I don't even know what to ask - I have so many questions but in words they all sound so depressing. My mum will look after the girls after her death as their Dad now has another life aroad and isn't interested. Does anyone know what I could do to help in what seems to be a desperate situation. Money is a worry after her death for my Mum looking after my nieces and as nobody seems to be telling us timescales at this point...I just don't know what to do. My sister also lives in Scotland, a mammoth journey for me so it's not like I can just pop up every evening or even every weekend - I have my own children and feel I need to support them too as life carries on for them. She has been told she will stop Tamoxifen and start chemo and whole head (?) radiotherapy though they seem to be waiting ages (OK, only days but for us all that feels like ages!) deciding when this will start and I worry she doesn't have ages to wait! Sorry for rambling but if anyone can help make sense of this situation and offer some practical ideas of how I could help I'd be most grateful as at the moment I feel like I'm running around doing a lot but not helping much at all. Many thanks and much love to you all xx
