It looks like there are no active members here. I hope I am wrong. My oldest sister was just diagnosed with mesothelioma. Hers is quite advanced and she is refusing treatment. So in a week it's gone from difficulty breathing to having hospice called in.
I can tell I am already starting the grieving process. I just wish there was more hope out there. We don't know where she was exposed, so now we all wonder......who is next?
I have had many losses in my life. most have been quick and unexpected, I don't know how it is to die with lung cancer. I hate hate hate the thought of my sister being in pain or suffering through this. Any info or advice would be much appreciated. Shelley
