I've had a couple of large brandys (that I needed and I'll explain...).
My darling sister, the Greek Islander, is really struggling right now in her massive battle with chemo. Nausea is so bad that she's become very dehydrated and is now not fit for the next session. She's in hospital, having been rehydrated intravenously but the nausea returns as soon as the medication wears off. Tonight, after a very tough day she's heavily medicated and I'm naturally feeling quite fearful for the outcome.
Is there anyone... anyone at all... who can shed some light on what is going on with her. I fear for her today and of course, my grief is somewhat selfish because I really will her, minute by minute, to get through this. I can't bear the thought that I might lose her but know in my heart of hearts that this is a real possibility. I feel so helpless and her lovely hubby is struggling to cope too.
Things are looking bad right now and I'm in pieces tonight.
So sorry for ranting on and tomorrow I'll regret posting something so personal on this public forum. Please understand and tomorrow we'll draw a line under this and move on. Hopefully she'll have rallied by then.
