I just wondered if there is anyone else in a similar position to me. My husband has terminal cancer , he is only 52 and this has all started from a dodgy mole discovered in June. I feel I am on a very lonely and scary journey .
I'm in the same boat as you. My husband was diagnosed with cancer in March last year and in September we were told it was incurable. He's had two courses of chemotherapy which haven't worked. He's just come home from hospital after 10 days after developing blood clots on his lungs and an infection. He's in a lot of pain so they are going to give him radiotherapy starting next week. Like you I am very scared at how quickly he is deteriorating. We trying our best to be positive but it so consuming. My husband is also 53 and we've been married 33 years.
It is an extremely tuff time and it often seems no one can really help you. You just get along the best way you can work out how to.
I lost my partner to pancreatic cancer 8 weeks ago after fighting the battle against it for 2 years.
Lots of people around do care but don't know how to show it. The best and only advice I can give you is just live life to the full in the two years we knew he had we had 9 foreign holidays. We only got back from our last one four days before he died live life to the full and if he recovers that's even better as it still distracts you from the realities of life.
Hello Roy. We've just had the news that my wife has cancer. Whilst she has been incredibly strong, I have gone to pieces. It's very early days, but the prognosis isn't good. I took comfort in your post. Hopefully we will have enough time left to get out and about to all the places we had dreamed of.
Best Steve
So sorry to hear of your wife's diagnosis. My husband has gone through 3 courses of chemo and is now on trial tablets. He has been extremely strong even though he is not at all well, but I am still in an anxious and depressed state. It affects us all and not everyone understands the emotional trauma involved. Try to stay strong. Best wishes Debbie.
