Dying with Nasopharyngeal

Hi, reading your posts and my heart breaks, especially for the carers. So.eone else said it too, it's harder for the carers. I see it for my husband how hard it is. I've come to terms more easily than him. I'm still worried though and so sad at the thought of leaving my children behind, 17 and 12. I'm 53, too young. Anyway enough poor me, I take it one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. I've written a book about it and that was therapeutic. E probably can't share links here. That's OK. I would recommend journaling though as a way to process.

Sending you all huge love

  • Hello Wendyy57

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's obviously a very difficult time for you and for all the family. I hope that you are all being well supported by those around you. 

    It's good to hear that you're taking a positive approach by taking things a day at a time. I know that this certainly helps to reduce some of the anxieties that you might otherwise experience. Hopefully you and your family are managing to spend quality time together enjoying life as a family and building good memories. 

    You mentioned in your post that you've written about your experiences and found it very therapeutic. I know that we have a few members who have found journalling or blogging a great way to process their journey and an outlet for their experiences, which have often gone on to help others. 

    Keep in touch Wendy if it helps to have this space to put down in writing how you're feeling, to chat with others who understand or to ask questions. We're here for you. 

    Sending you and your family my best wishes,

  • I'd be interested in reading your book. You can add me and send me the link if you want? Sorry you're on this journey. 53 is too young.
