Do others find themselves knowing the person they are caring for is terminal but there are days I can almost believe that the doctors have made a mistake
I am like this all the time. I go around thinking that this is just a big blip in her life and that when the thought of her dying comes into my head that I'm just being silly and thinking of a worst case scenario that won't really happen. X
Yes, this is exactly how we feel tonight. I’ve lost count of the number of times that doctors have explained hat we only have a matter of days, and yet he has good colour in his cheeks, is very strong in his arms and is ta talking of the future and making plans for the farm with a strong voice. And somehow I can ignore the weak pulse and the fact he isn’t really eating and is sleeping for most of the day. My mother, husband and I have had the same conversation tonight where we wonder are tge doctors right. It’s been 2 months since the first “few days” conversation, and a week since the most recent.
Hi Janjan3 and Mby, I am not the carer, though can understand why you feel that way. I have several terminal conditions and a few chronic conditions and can't believe how well i feel and how normal life is. happy Easter.
I do know what you both mean at times he is so bright and full of energy and I look and think how can be be dying. I think the fight to get his diagnosis was so hard and long I can almost convince myself it's all wrong. So hard to almost ' give in,'
Janjan3 I agree it is so unpredictable we were told months 7 th months ago and since then they have found new cancer yet on good days it is easy to kid on. Wishing you all the time there is x
We have been told that what they have diagnosed my husband with will not be cured and chemo and treatment will only slow it down - just somedays he is fine and walking around. Mind you they can't even decide where it is
