Struggling

8 months since my husband was diagnosed terminal with cancer of pancreas which had come from  duodenum. At first we didn't think he had this long so it is good. Does anyone else feel they are just stuck in this cancer roundabout. Feel awful saying this as it is good that he is here 

  • Hi, 

    Yes, my dad is terminal too. Diagnosed just after Xmas. We are all on hold. It's round the clock care for him which mum and I are splitting between us (although she's not well either). We take every day as it comes and it has taken over our entire lives. To the point where I can't go back to work and mum has only left the house to take dad to appointments etc... As he can't go out and is scared to be on his own. You're right it's a roundabout and also a roller coaster. You can't get off but don't go anywhere. I'm so sorry you're going through this and no doubt others will be along soon to chat because we're all going through it and know mostly how you feel. It's good you're having unexpected extra time-you must be doing really well and taking good care of him. Bless you. Xxx

  • It's good to know someone understands how it is. Feel we should be making the most of now before the inevitable happens but hardto get motivated. We all experience every emotion possible when going through this. Bless you and your Mum Big hug
