Last week my sister who is 48 years old was diagnosed with a very aggressive breat cancer. Because of her age they are doing a lumpectomy. She is very angry right now and doesn't want to talk to or see anyone. I am very concerned about her and would like to help in any way I can. She doesn't want to be a burden on me and does not want me to come see her. I live four hours away from her and I guess she thinks it would be out of my way to come there. I really want to see her but also want to respect her wishes. What should I do?

The next time you talk to her just let her know that you will be the shoulder she can cry on when she is ready. I know how angry I became when I was told that I would be losing my breasts and it wasn't until I finialy let go of my anger that I was able to let others in to be my support and help. She is more than likely feeling alone and scared right now so just knowing that you are available if she needs you will be a great help to her. You might also suggest that she join this (or another) web site. Also, if possible, suggest that you meet half way between your respective homes for a day shopping trip and lunch. My prayers are with you both.
Laurie, thank you for responding. I told Tina I will be there when she needs me, so I guess I'll just wait until then. However, I feel guilty not being there right now. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I will suggest that she join the website. If could just talk to someone who has been there, maybe she would not feel so lone and afraid. Thanks for your concern. My prayers are with you also Laurie. Laurie: The next time you talk to her just let her know that you will be the shoulder she can cry on when she is ready.
