Judy (grateful for today) wrote and gave me directions about this forum and I want to take this opportunity to remember my sister Miriam who had lost her battle against triple negative in October 2010 after 2 years fighting. My family was only her and when I received the notice that she had cancer in end of 2008 was a shock for me!!!!!She discovered late and I knew at this moment that she will die and with my sadness I spent all the time I had during the 2 years with her. 2 months and half before she died I was diagnosed also with TNBC and was too much for me.Today almost 2,5 years ned I am always thinking that my sister could be with me with the same chances!!!!But life is not so easy!!!!She had courage, she helped all during the chemotherapy treatments and until the last minute she gave me support and I remember one day before to come to hospital Miriam told me: Judy WE will win this battle!!!!She knew that she was loosing the battle but she want to give me courage, I was after my first session of chemotherapy!!!!She always awl talking to me by phone and after instead to say good bay she always was saying JUDY P.S. TE AMO (In portuguese), I love you!!!So I want to say now MIRIAM PS. I LOVE YOU!!! and you continue to give me courage together our parents in other life and the minimum I can do is follow the example of life you, Mammy and PAPPY gave me in this life!!!!Missing you always!!!!!! |

Judy ,
May your sister, Miriam, rest in Eternal Love and Peace.
One can easily tell you were a source of love, care and support for your sister.
I cannot begin to imagine what it was like to be supporting one's sister.......and then while
supporting her to receive a breast cancer diagnosis oneself. Judy, you are a strong women.
Sincere sympathy.
Hoping in your heart, you can hear her continuing to say: Judy, P.S., Te amo (I love you).
With caring and supportive thoughts,
Grateful for today............Judy

Dear Judy, I read your beautiful tribute to your sister. I lost a brother as I was receiving treatment. His death was unexpected and not from cancer. It sometimes seems like so much to handle, and I am sorry you had to confront this disease without the support of your sister and your parents. I am glad to hear you are NED. God Bless, Lori

What a lucky woman she was to have had you as a sister. And the same for you. You were both blessed. I am sorry for your loss but it seems you hold her dearly in your heart and that part of her is with you always, giving you love and courage.

Judy, I've only read your story just now and it pains me to hear that Miriam was your sister and only family that you had. Life is difficult to understand from our limited perspective, but we need to remember that sometimes the best can be brought out in us when we are facing our most difficult tests. I hope that you can find the comfort and support you need through this site and through interactions with people, whatever form those interactions may come in. May your sister Miriam rest in peace and be a continuing inspiration to you. God bless!

Miriam, Sorry it's been difficult and for the loss of your only family, Sis. Your sister would want you to be strong and live life... You are winning this battle along with the courage your sister has shown you. Congrats on being 2½ years NED.

Dear Judy,
What a wonderful tribute to your sister Miriam. What unselfish LOVE she showed to you, even though she was near the end of her life. May Miriam rest in peace and may you go forth in this life with wonderful memories of her. What a wonderful thing that you are 2 1/2 years NED.
I do send my deepest condolences at your loss. I pray that time will help to make Miriams memory a peaceful symphony for you.
Keep posting and let us know how you are. We are always here to support, share and listen.
God Bless,
Lillie
