My husband is terminally ill with primary liver cancer and cancer of the oesophagus, diagnosed in April this year, no treatment will help him it's just palative care, life is hard x
How awful for you, that is hard! How is he feeling at the moment? I lost my mum 16 years ago to lung cancer and now my dad has it and starting to deteriorate, just spend as much time as u can with him doing something he likes whether it be watching a film or having a massage , sitting in the garden even . It will help both of you x
Hi Theresa, welcome to the forum but so sorry to hear about your husband having this terrible disease that will eventually take his life. There really isn't anything much that one can say to ease your pain. I'm not sure what he is able to do at this point, but whatever he enjoyed when he was well, and if he can still do it, then if at all possible, help him with that. This may help to bring a small measure of joy to you both if its' workable. Another thing you may be able to do is create memories, i.e. pictures, videos, etc. for your children, or grandkids, if you have them, or for yourself to help you through the loss after he's gone. This will be a good experience to do now that will feel worthwhile in the days ahead.
Coming on to the forum was a good thing for you to do as people on here have been, or are still going through a similiar experience and can be a source of support for yourself. Come back from time to time and just write about what's happening and people will respond. It also helps just to write this stuff down and it gets it out of your head for a bit of a break. That alone is very helpful.
