Denial

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

  • 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.

  • 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
