Parents
  • I can totally udnerstand your feelings, my husband was diagonised with terminal cancer on March 4th he was told 4 months with no treatment and 12 months life expectancy with treatment he is 56. We have been married 33 years this year and I felt like the bottom had fallen out of my world on hearing this news.  My husband was a runner 5 times a week, ran numerous marathons and last run 7 miles on January 21st and was only being treated for a suspected stomach ulcer with his GP. He was diagonised with cancer in the stomach wall, the oesophagus, two spots in the lungs and the adrenal gland to the kidney I am so angry that there were no symptoms to this.

    All I can say is support him, talk to him, make as many memories as you can, take pictures and above all be kind to yourself, as I was told by many friends and family "this is happening to you too" and above all it is ok not to be ok.  It has taken me from March until now to realise this because of the emotions you feel.  Keep positive you dont know how he will respond to any treatment.  Big hugs 

  • Awww im so sorry to hear about your husband diagnoses. We found out  he got invited for a lung scan. He had nothing wrong with him but he thought just get checked out. Thats when the nightmare began . They called him 3 days later to say you have a 8cm lesion on your liver . So he had to get a pet scan . 4 weeks later we found out it was cancer terminal . We find out wednesday if they are gonna give him chemo. I pray they will . Im walking around in a daze if im not crying. I need to stop looking yo far ahead thinking about life without him . It proper scares me er are so close the thought of him not being hete in this house dont think i can go on without him. Thankyou gor your support . Im going to build memories while hes still here . Our son wants to do a bucket list with him. ill be encouraging jim to do this. Our grandaughter dotes on him their the best of friends. We have a nrw baby granson also . It breaks my heart to think he wont watch them grow. Sending you a big virual hug . keep in touch xxc
