hubby has been given about 12 months had bowel cancer that has spread to both of his lungs and now has spread to his abdomen. as a partner it us really hard to cope with
its awful isn't it... I'm going through similar and can't offer much advice I'm afraid other than cherish each day and only plan for the day ahead. My partner was fit and healthy and was diagnosed terminal with little signs or symptoms 3 weeks ago.... last week I was told we have days rather than weeks left so I haven't had time to process this at all.

My partner has been given yesterday a terminal Diagnosis and is to receive Palliative Beam Radiation within the next four weeks..
For three months we researched the Initernet , emailed the Oncology Department with our questions and on meeting the Oncology Consultant all our questions were answered. We faced the Diagnosis and Outcome together.
For me my aim is simple: "To Put my Partner first. To Hold and hug her with kind and gentle thoughts and loving words. To demonstate, Understanding Empathy and Compassion at all times for she must come first, her needs anticipated"
I have had major Bowel cancer Surgery and a reversal and now declared Cured.
Every moment, I give her a Hug , tell her I love her and thank her for all she has given over the thirty years we have been partners.
On returning home , we sat together, ate mixed Nuts, Ice Cream, Tomato Soup, Toast, Yoghurt and Mandarins. All mixed up without order. Watched TV Downton Abbey and telephoned family of 5 Children.
met with the neighbours, atemore nuts and forgot the pressing need to repair dangerous decking.
"Let it fall into the Stream"
We have each other and with Loving care we shall come through whatever the future holds.
One smile, loving words, a Hug and the Sunbeams left our hearts.
Having had Pancreatitis, Diabetes, Bowel Cancer, Spinal Surgery, venous Thrombosis and now we are facing a terminal Diagnosis, Expressing supportive and emotional love is what matters.
I have order a special surprise, a beautiful skirt by Louisa Spangoli from Milan which she has looked at!
