My gut is to pause my life and go but I keep going back and forth

Does your sister need to have a weekend away? Being immersed in an illness that may kill someone is intense and when it's your child, even more so. Maybe she needs a break with you - a spa weekend of some sort?

I hate to be so negative about this, but please consider in the back of your mind that if things take a turn for the worse, you may need to go back again for an additional week or two to offer support that she may really, really need then. You can always switch to a later flight once you get there if need be. But for now, with work and the disruption to your family, plan for a week

Yeah, this was my thought. If you take this much time now, you may not be able to later.

Why don’t you try for either 10 consecutive days over two weekends or two one week trips. Go once and get a sense for when it would make sense for you to go back and what she needs. Maybe she just needs you to show up every once in a while to laugh and cry together.

You go. What kind of man is your husband that you're worried about resentment? Sounds like you have a pretty good life and have the means to hire a sitter if he needs help. No good person would resent their significant other for taking time away to help a family member in need

Go. It will mean the world to them.

Maybe OP actually likes her sister. Ponder it. It is a possibility.

How far does your sister live?

My family has always supported me like I have supported my family.

Go. Actually, wear a mask and go. Get your flu shot and go.

Be healthy. Go and help her with whatever she needs.

I strongly believe in “gut” feelings OP.

Shortly before my Mother died years ago - - I was just randomly cleaning up my kid’s toys when I suddenly had a gut feeling…..coming from within.
At the time, I was young & just thought it was a figment of my imagination but shortly after that unfortunately my Mother did pass on. ❤️‍🩹

I wish I had acted on my gut feeling then ➕ went to visit my Mother…..

Go see your Sister.
She needs you now more than ever + likely does not want to burden you w/her emotional needs.
I am sorry for her child w/leukemia.

I would stay home.
