(81,220 posts)Cancer sure does suck. So sorry for your extended family. It's so weird and unsettling when you suddenly find yourself speaking about a loved one or a good friend - in the past tense. We had that experience just in the last few weeks with a good friend of my son's, who died suddenly. SO odd, SO not how it's supposed to be. All my sympathies, my friend.

(7,719 posts)I'm 58 and I have lost a wife and a sister-in-law to breast cancer and I have another sis-in-law that is doing chemo now for breast cancer. Sucks tremendously! It could be me next, who knows. I have come to terms with my mortality. We all get a turn at life and at some point it will end. As much as we should be out cherishing the life we have, too many of us just have to struggle to survive. Hope his wife has some security or his kids cans help her through this life changing event. It's tough....I know all too well.

My condolences to your sister and her children.

Right now my big brother is battling stage 4 colon cancer. He says he will recover from it. I certainly hope so. I don't want to lose him. I'm sure you didn't want to lose your BIL to cancer either.
