  • Hi 

    Sorry to hear about you and your son.  This is the first time I have visited the site and can relate to your post.   My son was diagnosed with stomach cancer  5 weeks ago.  He is only 27 and has always been fit, heathy and active.  The last 5 weeks has been unbelievable difficult for us all and we have been devastated by the news.  I feel like you , completely lost, our world has been turned and is now unrecognisable.  My son is still in shock and understandable very upset as we try to come to terms with what has happen.

    Originally we were told it was a ulcer but further investigations revealed cancer, then further tests revealed it had spread and then the devastating news of palliative care. 

    I have cried for 5 weeks, but not  in front of my son.  It's been so hard watching him suffer with the awful symptoms.     He had his first of the three  chemo treatments offered  yesterday.  

    Sending you a virtual hug and hope you find some strengh in knowning you are not alone xx

  • Good evening everyone I hope that you have all managed to put that one foot in front of the other today. 
    My husband has throat cancer again things are not great & have been told this week that we are looking at months. 
    I just don't know what corner to turn, the fear in my body is just so overwhelming & beyond belief. I'm scared to death of what lies ahead how fast will he deteriorate, what is expected. I'm up & down all through the night seeing if he is I'm so scared 

    it's crap isn't it
