My name is Cath - My hubby, Steve, died in May 2016 - I am 64 now - he first had oesophageal cancer in 2011, operated and removed - no treatment... all clear! - Then in Aug 2015 diagnosed with lung cancer - with COPD he was already compromised - had chemo and radiotherapy, and felt brilliant with it! - amazing - tumour shrunk - all good... then 5 months later it had returned and he had a very uncomfortable end.... what a terrible illness - he tried so hard to beat it. It was my second marriage - 1st one for 25 years, then my eldest son died in a road accident, 12 weeks later my dad died, then 9 months later my husband left - when I married again I had the most perfect marriage for me, was so happy. Life now is just so hard - every day is just 'another day' - all the happiness has gone.
