Bowel Cancer

Hello, my husband was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer in May this year. The last three weeks he has been going down hill on a weekly basis. I used to be a carer so I know what is coming and I wish I did not, I am struggling with the shock and having to keep it in. If I let a little bit out I feel like my body wants to call apes. Is this normal.
