My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer with metastases to his spine, nodes & liver on his 51st birthday in August ,  it was only found when he had a fracture to his thoracic vertebra which compressed the spinal cord causing paralysis caused by the Mets to the bone.  Like everyone on here it has been a rollercoaster of a journey so far with major spinal surgery to fix his back, he is learning to walk again, radiotherapy & will start chemotherapy 10 days.

I know my husband has been through so much already & can't imagine how hard it is for those suffering but this week he point blank refused to go for his hospital appointments & I don't know what to do or say, I'm scared that this is the beginning of him giving up.  Any ideas on what I should say or do would be gratefully received.  Thanks Jude x
