September memories - husband diagnsoed with rectal cancer, how do we cope?

My husband has just been diagnosed with Rectal cancer and we are both reeling from this news. He’s had MRI and CTScans and biopsies. Now awaiting results. How do you cope with waiting. ?

  • I have to say, waiting was the worst bit for me. I know this is very difficult but try not to think about the results. They should be back pretty quick - I would imagine they'll look at them in a MDT meeting (Multi disciplinary team) and get a treatment plan together for you. Once you have this, you can focus on the next weeks and months.

    For now, enjoy doing things you like, whatever takes your mind away from worry!

    (I do appreciate this is much easier Said than done)
