My husband's 85 year old father is very ill in hospital at the moment. He may not make it. It is a very sad and hard time for us all, especially for my husband who has had to deal with my cancer la...

I can't say anymore than the above wonderful NEW support gals have wriitten...this band of pink ladies are always here to support u as only we can understand..friends who have not endured what we go thru on a daily basis often avoid seeing u for fear of saying the wrong thing/not knowing what to say at all...which is difficult for us, but easier for them.
My family and i are living with (and have from VERY early diagnosis) secondary cancer. So i know unless they find a cure this will eventually take over and break my body down too far at some point, but i remain confidant that the new drugs they develop constantly will keep me around for a long time yet..BUT in the meantime I have changed a lot about my life..no more work for me (treatment keeps me lying low anyway), i am enjoying more family time, friend time and "smelling the roses" time. I have days when i find myself still falling apart, having a meltdown or just bursting into tears and having a good old fashioned bawl!! but then i feel better, its out of the system for a while again..
Do whatever works for you-to make u feel better-and bugger the rest of them!!
Hopefully the situation with your father in law doesn't 'drag' on too long, just makes things so much more stressful for all concerned-we have just had my husbands grandmother pass (in her 93rd year)..physically healthy till about a month ago (apart from some dementia issues)..so altho sad, she had a wonderful life & u couldn't wish for her to stay in the vegetative state she was in at the end.
Hope u can find some peace and something nice to do for yourself-u deserve it-this crappy disease takes enough of our energy and thoughts!
