Lost my partner to oesophageal cancer

Hi  haven't been on in a while because sadly on the 18th October my partner slipped away from all his suffering with OC cancer, he battled for 18months... he was admitted into hospital numerous times having dangerously low sodium levels , leaving him very poorly with hardly any strength to do anything for himself. The tumour started to bleed and the smell was offensive. He came out of hospital to die with all his family around him . I knew there was no turning point, although he laughed and remained positive throughout his battle . Bless him. ️ I miss him so much
 

 Feeling very heartbroken at this time ... 

anyone who is battling from O C cancer I wish you all the very best. 
And take care xx

  • Hello Rusty1

    On behalf of the whole Cancer Chat team, I wanted to post to share my sincere condolences on the recent loss of your partner. 

    It's understandably been a difficult time for you all but I'm glad to hear that he was able to spend his final days surrounded by those that loved him and that you were able to share some positive moments of laughter. 

    Grief is a natural process but it can be devastating. If you feel that it may help to talk to someone about your loss then don't be afraid to reach out for bereavement support. I know that other members have found organisations such as Cruse to be invaluable on the journey with grief. 

    Sending my best wishes to you at this difficult time.
