My husband has cancer and I Am lost

My hero has been diagnosed with myeloma. He is my rock for over 22 years and to think of a life without him is unbearable. I literally am on the verge of crying at any moment and can barely talk to anyone. We have 3 grown up children who all live away and although I have a good friends and family network when it's just me and him I just can't seem to get past the thought of living without him.  Just writing this makes me feel I'm being self indulgent and to pull myself together.  I try and keep hold of the positive stories I've read,  I Just can't keep those thoughts at the front of my mind.

  • Found out on Friday my partner is terminal. Stage 4 bowel and appendix cancer. We found out about the cancer in November, he had an emergency operation to remove a tumor, and last week they found another that they could not remove. 

    Its our 5 year anniversary on the 1st April. 

    I'm beyond devestated. He's my world, he's helped me overcome so much and has taught me to be a better person. 

    He's been told 3-6 months unless chemo can hold the cancer back, but it's incredibly aggressive.

    There are so many of us in this position, even my own sister lost her husband 3 years ago. You're not alone.
