Hello Missydawn, 

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, cancer is very cruel. I really wish they'd find a cure for all cancers then none of us would need to be on here. 53 is far too young, do you have any children together? Spend whatever time he has left creating those oh so precious memories, take those photos, laugh, talk about the past, tell him how much you love him which I'm for certain you will do anyway. Time is very precious to each and every one of us, it's so difficult and the heartbreak can be unbearable but somehow we have to try and fight however hard. 

My dad has incurable bowel cancer which has spread to his lungs and liver. He's 64 and I'm turning 27 next month. He was diagnosed a year ago. It's been ever so tough and the person I feel the most for besides my dad is my mum. She's been with him since they were 16 and 17 years old, I worry how she will cope but I know with the support from the family she'll somehow manage. So I can sympathise with you but how it feels, I've never had to live without my Dad...it's hard to even think about the future ahead. He's had palliative chemotherapy but each time he's ended up with other things wrong (bowel obstruction, blood clot and last month a stroke). 

Please look after yourself, I do hope you've got plenty of support around you. Wish you both the best of luck x
