Hello Bobbybear and thanks for posting on here

I am so sorry to hear you lost your wife to cancer last year, this must be such a difficult time for you alongside having to deal with your own diagnosis and treatment.

I hope you have had some support around you this past year but do reach out for more help if you need it or are struggling to come to terms with everything that has happened.

Unfortunately when cancer spreads to other parts of the body it is often regarded as advanced cancer and whilst these may be treated, it is often to control the cancer rather than being able to cure it ( get rid of the cancer completely).

Do speak with your own specialist nurse or doctor at the hospital you are being treated to get a better understanding of your situation and to ask what to expect moving forward.

You are very welcome to get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we're here weekdays 9-5.

Take care,

Naomi
