Dear Jennh,

I feel so sorry that your sis-in-law is going through this. It is very difficult for anyone to say what time is left for her. My husband, stage IV stomach cancer (inoperable)was given just 4-5 months but today, 22 months later, is alive and well. Doctors say they do not know why. My husband did meditation, Reiki healing, and had a great deal of support from the good thoughts and prayers of friends, relatives, and prayer groups, as well as chemo.
I would advise that you spend as much time as you can with your sis-in-law. None of us know when we will leave our bodies. Maybe during the next minute, maybe after years and years.
It is hard not to hate cancer but really there is nothing else for it but to accept it and try to get well again.

Walk in God's Light.

Val
