Ms Stanmore

If I had to "guess" i think it is probablly a combination of the 2..this disease is so hard for so many reasons and the fact that it can be sooooo disfiguring as well as life threatening..that is alot. it is nice to hear she is a strong person , but even the strongest of us have weak moments and need people to lean on. Attitude is key at least that is what they say. Counseling is a plus at least for me it is because it allows me to know that i am not crazy and far from it...lets me know my fears and concerns are very normal .. I learn that on here as well. Maybe you could let her know about this site and she can talk to others who have been through similar things ! hang it there ,,you wll get through it .One day at a time that is how, Love your sister and let her know you are there. Sounds to me as though you are a GREAT sister and she is lucky to have you !
