Hi,

Not sure where to start…

My partner of 7 years is terminally ill with secondary lung cancer. He was diagnosed in November 2022 and given 9-12 months to live. He’s doing incredibly well after chemo and he’s still here, 15 months on!

In 2018 he was diagnosed with throat cancer. He’s a huge fitness fan and hasn’t done anything that might indicate him as a prime candidate.

He went through 12 hours of surgery to trapdoor his jaw and remove the tumour. The hole was filled with tissue from his forearm, involving complicated micro vascular surgery. The hole in his arm was replaced with abdominal issue. He fed himself through a tube for 6 months and lost a lot of weight. For someone who had weight trained and looked ‘big’ for all his life, this was tough mentally.

But, he was tougher and he came out the other side. Only to have the evil thing show its ugly face once again. 

I’ve scribbled this down so you have the background in a very brief summary. There’s so much more o could write! I’m so proud of him and his outlook…he really is incredible.

However…I’ll be posting again with some of our challenges to get your insight…because at the moment I’m really struggling. I know it’s not about me, but I figured there would be a lot of people on here who can relate to how I feel. 

Thank you for reading x x x
