Betty,

I'm glad to hear you're there with your sister -- your presence can be a real comfort to her.

I agree with some of the others about letting her do what she's able to do for now. When I was going through radiation, I tried to keep up with some of the routine, everyday things to help take my mind off of the time I was spending in treatment.

Please see that she stays with the thrush medication -- I had some episodes with that that popped up almost overnight and needed to be dealt with aggressively.

You're right to expect that it will probably get tougher for her over the next couple of weeks, so it's good that you're there to help anticipate some of her needs.

Please stay in touch.

Cathy
