Ok . Got to admit first time here after wine and a hard week.
excuse any bad grammar and mistakes.
My husband ( just got married by special rules in June) is age 45 and was diagnosed in may 2020 with gullet ( keep forgetting how to spell eosopjogael) cancer that had spread to lymph nodes, stomach and liver. He was told he had 2 weeks to live back in June
he was started on chemotherapy and he responded very very well . ( we also took it upon ourselves to give him panacur powder too) ( dog worming powder ) ( have a google). Thought he would be ok and be a miracle!
All things were looking amazing .... even his consultant said he could not believe the difference and response to treatment he was having. Tumours all behaving and shrinking by more than 50 percent.
all was looking good until last week.
my lovely busband now has cancer nodules all over his brain. Came as a massive shock to everyone ( including oncologist)
Anyway . He is due to have 5 days of whole brain radio therapy ( within next 2 weeks) . Been told the procedure may cause considerable damage as tumours so close to brain stem.
No idea why I'm even writing here as no one can do anything.
just wondered if anyone in the same position as us?
Husband was the only earner in our family ( his choice) so also facing losing our home ( have 3 children at home with us) and just feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all.
Also been told if he makes it through therapy that he might be foggy in the brain. That scares me too.
im a menopausal old bag with no prospects and just feel like I'm not strong enough for all this.
Also hubby is a very stubborn headstrong man who wants everything his own way.
Anyone ever been here and got through it all?!
How did you do it?!
sorry for the rant.
feels
weird even telling people what's going on.
