[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. 
Thanks to everyone for your kindness.

My understanding is her doctors are ok with the trip and starting treatment after they are optimistic .

Neither of my sisters have children. I'm the only one with kids and my youngest is 6 I fully trust DH with them.

I'm certain I can get the time off work.

My only issue with the 2 weeks is that in my mind she should get treatment right away, and I know that's not my call.

It seems I will be packing my bags. [/quote]

I'm glad to hear it is going to be a trip you can work out. She is in a scary place and your support is going to be valuable and a real help.

The only thing I would check with her, and ask her to check with her doctor, are details of any present symptoms and if there is anything you need to know to take care of the symptoms while you are away. I don't mean to sound alarmist or anything. I'm a cancer patient with brain mets and I developed issues with seizures, as well as some other neurological issues. The brain is a tricky thing. That said, once I was able to let close friends what to expect and how to handle it, everyone was more comfortable. For example, most seizures don't require a 911 call, just some care. If you know what to do if she is having any symptoms and how to handle them, you will all feel more relaxed on your trip and have a great time.

Again, I don't mean to introduce worry where there is none. I hope she is asymptomatic and you can just kick back and have fun.

Best of luck to you and your sister and I hope you have an amazing time with your sisters.[/quote]
