    Just one hour ago I got the news from my brother in law, that my darling sisters fight is coming to an end, she had only one keytruda infusion but had deteriorated so bad in the past two weeks that after scanning her a few hours ago they informed my brother in law that she is too far gone and there is no point with the keytruda any longer as my darling little lamb had lost her battle and now must go back home to die, as I write these lines I am utterly shattered I really thought this drug would help extend her life it's even harder for me right now as she lived in Austrslia and I'm in Ireland, I had hoped so much to go to see her soon but my husband was hospitalised with a pericardial effusion and he's not well so I am nursing him and feel so so useless no being able to hold my sister and tell her how much I love her Oh God I'm so sorry for my emotional outburst at the moment but I'm sitting here in the dark and am torn in half. If anybody is reading this and knows anything about how long she might have I could prepare the rest of our family tomorrow as we all live here. She has lost the use of her hand and legs and is sleeping a lot and her husband ( my hero) told me that she really does not know what's happening as her cognitive awareness gone too, he thinks this is a little blessing as she very happy in her own little unaware state Thankyou for reading

      I'm so sorry, sweetheart.  This disease takes so many from us much too soon.  I'm sure your sister knows how much you love her.  You are juggling many serious issues right now, so please take good care of yourself.

      Hugs,

      Susan

      So sad. So sorry. Stupid awful disease. Since the docs have given up like that I would say her time is short. They did that with my cousins son a few months ago with his colorectal cancer and it was about a week. He was such a brave strong person.

      So sorry for your struggles and your sister's plight. If we can all feel your love, so many miles away and without really ever knowing you…know that your sister has no doubt of your love and care. You HAVE been there for her and I'm sure she has felt it all along. Wishing your and yours my best. Celeste

        May God bless you, your sister, and her family.  This is truly an evil disease, but know that the Lord and love are stronger. The love between sisters is like no other…..she knows you love her….and though it is little comfort to you right now, you really are with her in spirit. My dear sister prays for me all the time as I fight this disease, so I know personally how much that means. I will keep you in my prayers. I hope your husband gets along well. I pray that you will feel a peace that comes from God.

      So sorry to hear this news. When I was first diagnosed, my sisters came to Australia from Europe to visit me. We did not know if I would respond to treatment and I was so glad of the short time with them. There are five of us and it has brought the others closer to each other too. But even without their being here, I still felt their love and our many wonderful and funny times together. I'm sure your sister feels your love. I feel it from mine every day. I really feel for you and wish you and your sister and her family a peaceful end if that is what transpires. 

      My prayers with you
