  • Hi, So sorry to hear of your hubbys diagnosis. My husband was diagnosed with liver cancer 4 amd a half years ago. They said his life span would be about 5 years. Yes it is so hard but you do learn to cope. Something just seems to take over to give you the strength and the courage to carry on. Take each day as it comes. There will be bad days for your hubby which yes it will affect you but there will also be good days. Cherish each of these good times. Just be there with a ready smile and a hug. You have made a step forward by joining this forum. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Feel free to speak to me at any time. Lynn x
