Hello,
My husband recently passed having been diagnosed with lung cancer and brain metastasis. He had given up heavy smoking for fifteen years. He had asthma and copd which he coped with very well.
His diagnosis was sudden and was such a shock but we were both mentally in a good place as treatment was offered but no cure. Looking back I'm sure my husband hid certain facts from me about his health
and gave other reasons for putting off his healthy outdoor pursuits, like the weather. Unfortunately, I had to encourage him to go to hospital when his personality changed drastically (all down to the brain secondaries).
He had surgery to remove some part of the tumour from his brain and was looking forward to the rest of his treatment but unfortunately that was not to be. The hospital was superb in their care for him and our family
but I have been left so lonely and have lost my confidence. although I try to keep strong I'm prone to the odd outburst of crying when Im alone. It's the first time in my life I have been alone. My husband had only just retired and we
had many plans.
The little jobs my husband did like turning back the clocks for winter and DIY problems seem over whelming. Not looking forward to xmas or new year. I'm thinking that the numbness is part of coping.
