My aunt has stage 4 liver cancer that has spread to her spleen and pancreas. They said she has 6 mos. She's been very sick for 2 mos now, and was admitted to the hospital last night for pain and trouble breathing. Shes on oxygen. They said she's a 10 on a 1-10 scale. They said shes had it for prob 4 yrs. Our family is devestated. Her daughter who is my cousin, is my best friend. She's only 28, my aunts 54. Im in New York, theyre in California. I moved 7 mos ago. I wish I knew then. Does anyone have any advice or know about this. Does 6 mos mean 6 mos or sooner? or longer? Since she's so sick now, is she going to die soon? How do I be there for my cousin when I'm so far away? I dont have the $ to fly there. Death is so sad. How do you say goodbye? What do YOU say?? Im supposed to call my aunt tonight, she'll only be able to listen. What do I say without crying my head off? She's my favorite aunt, this isn't supposed to be happening. Not yet. Thanks for listening
