Hi @brisbanestory sending you a big hug. Please also take care of yourself as this is a hard journey for those who love the diagnosed. So glad you have found the forum. I have two sisters one older, one younger and a brother. My older sister and my mum were both with me when I was given my diagnosis. My sister drove 7 hours to be with me. She then stayed with my mum and they both came to the hospital every single day (I was in for 6 days and it was a 2 hour round trip). They both came along to see my surgeon to get the pathology results which weren't ready the first week. They again came with me the second week. They came with me to give me their opinion on the wigs I was trying on, to go to the oncology appointments, radiotherapy appointment and just be there for support. Time and time again. I could not have asked for more and the enveloping of love and caring is something I will forever be greatful for. No grandstanding involved just pure love. Also you can sign your sister up for the look good feel better course and go along as a support person for her there. I wish you both all the very best and cross fingers that if you do have testing that your results come back negative. Keep in touch and if you feel the need to come on and release frustration, or fear we are here for you. Xx Cath
