My husband, Matt, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with liver cancer spread on 5 February this year - he died on 11 March 5 weeks to the day from diagnosis.
The cancer raged through him like a fire and my big,wonderful bear of a man resembled a holocaust victim by the time he died - that's how horrific it was and the only way I can describe his end.
Cancer is a spiteful , unforgiving disease.
Im so sorry for your sudden loss - it's such a shock and painful beyond words.
i totally agree hence my username I hate cancer more than anything in the world. Vicious unforgiving b•••••d of a disease ...I never expected cancer to hit my immediate family the way it has but mum has cancer now bowel which has spread to her liver (it's always the liver) she's very depressed & won't talk to us . It's so sad and I am angry at the medical profession for still being so far in the dark ages with cures! Hardly anything changed since 1985! Some cancer is still inoperable some cancer is still incurable.. it's all so sad and makes me despair. Some people can get cancer and live for years but some get it and die cruelly within weeks...I am just so upset at the moment for mum and anyone facing this despicable illness or anyone who has lost a dear loved one to it. I pray every day for a cure but it just seems so far off.
Yes unfortunately. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer spread to liver on 29 April 2020, he died 18 May 2020. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. He was only 61.
the pain is unbearable, I'm sorry you too are going through this.
I just read this thread and so sorry for everyone's loss and loved ones pain and suffering to this vicious disease... this is one of the seldom posts that I just had to respond to cause I think what you're saying is so right... it is true we listen to so many adverts that until cancer is diagnosed close to home, you think people can live a long time with this god awful disease. But the reality for so many is that as you said we are still stuck in the dark ages with a cure!! When my Husband who was 44 when diagnosed was told he had lung and secondary's that it was incurable I didn't think we would loose him 7 months later at 45...it's heartbreaking and I like you guys am struggling to get through this... just glad we lived life to the full during our life together but feel robbed of out future... thinking of you all and maybe one day nobody will have to go through what we and our loved one have
We lost my husband a few weeks ago at age 44, my eldest daughter turns 13 today and has been robbed of her Dad, my youngest was 9 last week. We have all had our futures with him stolen from us, it is so unfair and wrong...we watched a strong fit man waste quickly away to nothing, he fought for a year and was only diagnosed by accident, no symptoms really and it was already in his liver, how can this evil thing have been getting away with this for centuries and noone can stop it? It's certainly time it was nipped in the bud! Should be more of a priority then sending people into space if you ask me!
I too lost my husband on 1st may he had liver, bowel and lung cancer he was only 52. It is so cruel as in January they said with chemo he might have 2yrs without 6mths he had the chemo but it didn't work, his body went from a muscular frame to skin and bone in days, the only thing I'm grateful of is that he didn't suffer for long and I got to say goodbye as he died at home.
The only advice I can give is to take each day as it comes.
