Hi.
I'm so sorry to hear about what has happened to your dad, and now to your husband. I lost my father in law to cancer in January and now my mum is fighting her own hard cancer battle.
Welcome to the forum. It's a great place to vent or to let off steam, or tomask questions or opinions, whether someone replies of not. I find it reassuring that we are not alone and sadly there are clealy so many people and families going through the same thing as us.
I hope you can find some support and comfort on here.

Thank you....I feel like im hitting my head on a wall...i feel so helpless but hate to moan as its mot me fighting the battle....My husband cant eat at the moment... He's lost 10kg in just over 2 weeks...im really worried...x
Oh Claire, I am so sorry to hear this - my father is terminally ill so I can only imagine what you are going through.
What I found helped me was reading about trials and studies about my father's condition to see if there is anything we can do to help him.
This is the Clinical Trial site (not sure what your husband is suffering from so there might not be anything available)
This is the link for published papers on various diseases. The abstracts are helpful to let you know the latest research available.
We are looking at Immunotherapies for Small Cell Lung Cancer.
You are incrediblystrong to deal with this and looking after your husband is one of the kindest things you can do, even when you feel so sad. Allow yourself time to cope with everything, I have a couple of confidantes I use, who have been amazing and just listened when I needed it.
Big hug to you xxx
