My partner had terminal bowel cancer that has spread to his lungs, recently we were told he has the BRAFF mutation making the cancer more aggressive and not as good prognosis, last week the oncologist spoke to us and my partner asked for a time scale, they said it could be 2 years could be more , could be less , they don’t know .
Im still trying to process this, even though I knew the prognosis wasn’t going to be great it’s still a shock when your told a timeframe, my partner is very unemotional, he just gets on with it , but I’m really struggling , as are my two grownup children.
I just wondered what other people’s experiences are on similar situations and any advice for trying to get through this nightmare we are being faced with would be really appreciated.
I just want my partner to try and enjoy the time he has left and I don’t want to be a blubbering emotional wreck all the time.
