I'm so sorry Mair. I'll keep you and your therapist in my thoughts.
I know how hard it is to think positively when someone you care about is sick.
I also know how hard it is to handle therapist troubles, where you know that you probably need to talk about it, but it seems impossible to talk about it to *them* honestly. Maybe the best thing is to talk about that? That you understand that she wants you to talk about things as you've always talked about things, but that you hope *she* understands how difficult it is since it involves *her*, and boundaries, and all the difficult psychotherapy relationship issues.
If she'll be out for a long period of time, perhaps she'll have someone available for her clients to see, if only to keep them somewhat in the loop, and to talk about their feelings about her illness.
