Brain Tumor

Hey...
I know how you are feeling. I have been there. Twice. With two different grandparents...
I know grandparents might not seem very close but believe me, just how close you are to your aunt is how close I was to my grandparents.
ANd yeah, it does feel like your family is being dragged down, but its not the end. Each person in your family is trying to deal with whats happening and some might not deal with it as well as others.
Just know that in the end of it, the human spirit is amazing and will carry on fighting till the last breath.
With regards to how long she will be around, its not fair to tell you those kind of things because it puts limits on life. I was told when I was diagnosed with my disease that I would live till my early teens and now I am 21. With regards to her treatment, no chemo is fun, and I can understand why she stopped. Also, some people take it harder than others.
Just be there with her. Just sitting with her holding her hand will mean so much to her. And also, write that letter ;) Just open yourself up to her and let her know that she really is a big part of your life and that you're gonna be with her all the way...

Not sure what else to say, except life is a highway that has some bad trips but then some amazing ones, and when the bad ones like you;re going through are going on, just keep your head up high. Good luck jennifer...

Hey
I have a brain tumour too, and just to say, while this probably won't be much help, I know if I were your aunty I would hope with all my heart that my being sick would not affect your future. Your aunty may be feeling guilty about what she is doing to her family and you dropping grades because of her won't make her feel any better.
Just remember cancer is hard on everyone but by puttig on a smile and being brave you'll help those who are finding it hard to smile at the moment. My mum does that every day with me and even though I know inside she is sad, it makes me feel a little bit better. Be strong.
Dream BIG...reach for the STARS...being BALD ain't gonna STOP me!!!

Hi
I had a similar situation with my dad only he wouldn't give up. Your aunty probly just does'nt have enough strength left to fight, but I can't be sure. However with your mum she is probably just trying to postpone having to think about loseing her sister, she will probably snap out of it.

And either way your aunt won't leave you as long as you jave some good memories. Good Luck Jennifer keep on going.

My mum has cancer go to winstonswish it's a website for people who know others very sick.

hope that helps!
