Hi lucycat,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of the situation with your husband. I hope you are getting on as OK as possible in the circumstances. Keep reaching out to others around you for support where possible - friends and family, the community on the forum here, or other organisations or professionals if you'd like some additional help.
Macmillan and Maggie's are two organisations who offer various resources, helplines, and also local centres, which can all be helpful in terms of coping and also finding others in similar situations.
We are always here for support on the forum if ever you need it, even if it's only as a safe space to write things down and reach out to others who understand.
Do keep looking after yourself too, and take things slowly - one day, or less, at a time.
Hopefully you'll get some more replies here soon. As I say, we're always here if you need it.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben

Hi it really saddens me to hear of the situation you find yourself in ,I'm really glad you found this site as you will get support at every stage of your husbands illness ,its good to have someone to let it all out to outside of your family and there is usually others on here more than willing to lend a caring ear ,as Ben says take each day as it comes or even each moment and deal with it as best as you can ,reach out to friends and family as they can be a comfort to you and your husband ,take all the help you can get from the various organisations such as Macmillan's and Maggie's etc ,look after yourself and if you feel like it there is usually people on here to chat to or ask questions to such as the nurses ,I'm thinking about you and your family x
