Breast cancer

I was diagnosed  with breast cancer stage 1, and 2 days later diagnosed  with  kidney failure.

My cancer spread from stage 1  when leaked into 3 of the 5 nodes l. Everyone  was gobsmacked, I was hubby was, iwas mortified, I have been married 35 years together  40, more nodes were taken  luckily not spread  but I cannot get this out my mind I never will because its a lifetime disease, as a Nurse I know  the worse, but if I'm truly honest I miss the intimacy of my life long partner my husband of 40 years, I miss his touch  his feeling of love, he is the only reason iv kept going, iv contemplated on giving up and doing  my own life  

Pleas some one help, I have 3 lovely boys 5 grandkids and most of all my adorable  husband 

  • Hello Teresa.  First of all, you have had a terrible shock,  You need time to process what has happened to you.  I have recently been told that my cancer is at stage 4, plus I am my beloved husband's carer (my husband has several very serious life threatening health issues).  Recently, as my cancer progresses, and my husband's condition is also worsening, we have spoken about our options.........but one thing we both are agreed on is that we want to be together no matter what.  Teresa, I know that me and my husband don't have very long............but we are going to make the most of what time we have left.  I can not tell you what you should or should not do, but you and your husband love each other.............so why not stay together for as long as you can?  Hope I have been a little bit of help to you, take care mate, much love, Violet, xxx
