Oh, my dear, my heart really goes out to you during this difficult time! HUGS to you. I have very personal experience with cancer in the family - and it is just *no* time for family drama (had that too), it just adds heartache to the heartbreak. So I really feel for you. You really need to keep yourself as top priority right now, and get yourself well. Sometimes, we have to step back from family for awhile when they are causing us issues that could be devastating - especially when one's health is at stake. There is nothing wrong with protecting yourself from a toxic situation. YOU come first.
 
Please know that I will be keeping you in my thoughts, and that you are not alone, and that people care, and that we're here for you - all of your friends here, human and furry. 
HUGS HUGS HUGS.
