Hi

Hi. I'm Gary and living with stage 4 cancer for 3 years now. Had one kidney removed prior to this escalation to stage 4. My biggest mistake was to handle the news so badly that I pushed my wife of 25 years away and hurt her so much at the time. She is no longer in love with me so we are not together despite me having changed but she tells me it's too late.

  • Hello Mousetrap42,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about your relationship ending but I do hope you can remain friends. It can be difficult living with cancer and managing emotions, so it's great to hear that you're coping with this better. No doubt this will benefit you and the people around you. If you need any more guidance you can find some useful tips on coping with cancer on our website. The forum is always here for you and we have a team of nurses that available on the freephone 0808 800 4040, lines open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
