I found out last week that my husband is now palliative care only with possibly only a few months to go. I am struggling to get to grips with this and terrified for what is to come I.e watching him get worse and suffering before the end comes
Hi there, I’m on the same terrifying journey as you. my partner for 28 years had been told his cancer is incurable. We haven’t been told his life expectancy but know it’s terminal. He start d palliative chemotherapy last week. Like you I’m dreading losing him slowly and seeing him lose his ability to have a good quality of life. Hope you have some family to support you and your husband.
thanks for the reply. I am sorry to hear about your husband. My husband was diagnosed Jan 2023 and we were told 2 years max. He had first line chemo for 6 months which worked initially then not so much. He then moved onto a tablet form chemo in September but his cancer is aggressive and chemo isn’t working. Unfortunately I had a cold last week which I gave to him and it has made him very unwell so we are just waiting to see if he perks up from this or whether it is the cancer progressing. All of a sudden we have palliative care visiting, talk of a hospital bed being delivered, “just in case” drugs being prescribed for us to keep at home in case they are needed at some point. It’s all a bit scary and I am not coping well. However we just have to be brave and do our best . I do have lots of friends and family support which I would be absolutely lost without. Hope you do too
