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.

  • Hi Michelle.   My best friend, soulmate husband of 22 years has been given 6/9 months to live he is only 56 .  now on palliative chemo to hopefully extend life , I am too so scared about losing him, and fed up of hearing think positive!! , can't think about anything else , it's a living nightmare. So hard to make memories when they could be last ones . It makes me so sad to look at him . He is being so strong and I feel like I'm letting him down . My family and friends can't imagine what this is like , and hate to hear I'm not coping . Was comforting reading other peoples experiencing. I had stage 3 breast cancer 15 years ago chemo and radio he was so strong for me , would love to hear back on here x

  • I can only describe this as disastrous. It's like nothing I've ever felt before and my husband is such a proud strong man who has provided for me and our children. I read all the heartbreak in everyone's post and I realise I'm not alone. I'm here to chat especially in the wee hours when for some reason my mind is at its most active. X
