Oh gosh, @Erika888 ... You have SO much going on as well as your own surgery xx I am so sorry to hear of your family members' cancer battle too :( I hope you have good support at home as you recover. xx
Try & take one day at a time & concentrate on your own recovery & treatment first - tho I know you'll be wanting to support your sister's family as well as the aunty's family .... It is time to concentrate on your OWN health first - then, you can help & support them afterwards xx
Too late for this week, but give our helpline a buzz on Mon (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) and have a chat - just chatting with them may be able to help you formulate a plan, once you are 'OK' yourself xx
Jump onto this thread for lots of info on the forum 'in general' .... including tick sheets on your own physical & mental health, in your recovery xx

In the mean time, whack up ANY questions that you have - and we'll do our best to answer them honestly, as we've 'been there, done that' xx. Where abouts 'are you'? (General area/town) .... other members may be able to point you towards support/services that may be in your area ;)
Take care, don't overdo things until your Surgeon clears you for it (housework, etc) as it can cause a set back xx
