Lost: my husband is 63 and has terminal cancer

My husband has terminal cancer. He is 63. I just dont know what to do. I feel cheated, sad, angry and so alone. I have lost the man he was, all the plans we made for when he retired..

I am his carer, i dont work, so have limited contact with others.

Just really struggling.

  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community bellageorge although I'm so sorry to hear your husband has terminal cancer.

    This must be such a difficult time for you both but I'm glad you've reached out to us as so many of our members will understand what you are going through, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer you their support and advice.

    I'm not sure if you are aware of Maggie's, but this cancer charity provides free support to anyone affected by cancer, whether this be online or in one of their centres across the UK, so if you are hoping to have more contact with others who are also on this journey, do get in touch with them as they may have a centre close to you that you can visit and get that much needed support you are searching for. 

    Carers UK provide a lot of information, support and advice that you may find useful at this time as well.

    We're thinking of you bellageorge and are sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,
