HelloDon80.

Just want to say hello and sorry that you find yourself here. I am sorry that your husband has reacted badly to his treatment and decided not to have any more. 

My late husband was diagnosed in January 2016 with lung cancer stage 4, spread to lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Because of the size of the tumour and the position, invading the heart valves we were given a prognosis of 9 -12 months. He did have 4 short bursts of palliative radiotherapy with a view to keeping the tumour at bay and give some quality of life for his remaining time.

Everybody's cancer journey is different as you will see if you read other posts on here. You just have to deal with things day to day and not look ahead. We are all stronger than we think and we cope because we have to. Our journey was only 6 months but I know that I cared for my husband in the very best way I could and as was his wish, to die at home.

I send my best wishes to you and your husband.

Lynne. 

Hello Lynne,

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post. I am very sorry about your late husband.

I suppose sometimes it's just nice to know you are not alone. I have a big family and they are very supportive but they don't really know as thankfully they haven't been through anything like it. 
Until now I have just really been focusing on my husband and my 3 boys (13, 11 and 6). Now reality is setting in! 
 

You are right and we do find our way through, sometimes it seems harder than others

Sending love Donna x

Thank you for your reply. Sorry to hear about your husband. I really hope his treatment goes better. The same goes, if you need a sympathetic ear mine is always available.
