  • Morning Florance, and welcome to the forum.  So sorry to read about your husband, I'm sure you are a great comfort to him.  Of course you are feeling emotional, it's only natural in the circumstances, and I know everyone on here will understand.  I don't have experience of lung cancer, mine is ovarian, but there are lots of others on the forum who do, so may I suggest that you change your heading to something like 'Husband has lung cancer' then they will be able to find you more easily and offer help and advice. 

    Do take care, wishing you both all the best, Hazel x

     

     

     

  • Hello Dorothy, just seen your other thread.  Hang on in there, my love, I'm sure others will be along soon who are in similar circumstances.  Meanwhile, keep posting to let us know how things are, or if you just want to let your feelings out, bless you.  Just a thought, but when you are next at the hospital why not ask to see hubby's designated nurse or the Macmillan nurse so you can explain your feelings, either may be able to suggest something, or you could just have a jolly good cry on her shoulder whilst hubby is having his chemo in another room!   

    I am pleased that he is able to potter in the garden, quite a few of us older ones do that and find it very therapeutic, and it's good that he is coping well with the chemo.

    Take care, Hazel x

  • Thank you Hazel 

       You also must be very down at times but you soldier on with your own problems on your health 

         It makes me feel better already to chat to somebody else so I thank you 

                     Keep well Dorothy x

  • Hi Florence,

    My hubby had cancer in the lung linings (Mesothelioma) so slightly different to what your husband is receiving treatment for.  I know many reading your post will fully understand the emotional rollercoaster you now find yourself on, including me, and how we feel the need to somehow stay strong on the outside whilst falling apart on the inside. Please use the forum as much as you wish as I found it so helpful to talk with others and it gave me somewhere  to talk about my own feelings without fear of judgement during my husband'sjourney.

    I hope your husband's treatment helps him cope with his cancer and that you have a supportive GP to talk with as I found this invaluable. Take care Jules54
