Hello, I am very sorry to hear about your family's bc "curse". I have four sisters and would feel desperate if any of them were to receive a diagnosis. I have had two diagnosis of bc and they have supported me. Still they really do not understand the pain, discomfort and ongoing fears that I live with. Not sure how I would feel if it was one of them "doing the same hard yards". My advice to you is be there for your sister when she needs you whilst always paying top attention to your own needs. Everyone is different - and everyone has a choice as to how they want to live their life. All you can do is show others how you handle the treatment and how it affects/improves you. Take care XLeonie
