Palliative care

My husband has lung, brain and spinal cancer, it’s been a roller coaster with the lung first diagnosis, but a whole new level with the other 2 diagnosis. I’m terrified I already notice slight confusion and repeating himself! How do I deal with this ??!!!

  • Hi Annie, my partner has lung cancer and we knew from the start it was palliative. He did have palliative radiotherapy a few months back and it did give him some respite for a while but sadly not now. I’ve noticed a marked change in his memory, cognition etc ( he’s 57) and that’s my concern as well but we’ve been told he won’t get any more scans etc to see how far it’s spread. 
    While I’m sad we even have to be on this forum it does help me to know I’m not alone. Please take care x
