My husband has been recently diagnosed with Mesothelioma (terminal cancer).
He was given 4-12 months to live but with treatment ,who knows .He has been receiving treatment for last 4 months ,now awaiting full body scan then consultation.
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's recent diagnosis. Undoubtedly this will be been difficult news for you both to hear.
It's understandable that you may both be feeling anxious ahead of his first scan and consultation after 4 months of treatment. Hopefully there will be some positive news from the specialists once they have all the information they need.
If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses ahead of that appointment you're welcome to call them on 0800 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Do keep in touch Kidsangel and let us know when you have some news.
My best wishes to you both, Jenn Cancer Chat moderator
Thank you for your help and support, at this moment in time my husband went into hospital this morning due struggling for breath ,pain etc
Apparently on being assessed he has a serious infection and another fluid build up ,which hopefully they will drain and treat.
It really has been a very tough emotional time, we also have granddaughter on an SGO ,aged 12 who we are currently waiting on results to see if she is ADHD and ASD.
Oh Kidsangel you are juggling a lot at the moment.
I hope that the hospital can get on top of this infection for your husband and that he's home with you both again soon.
If it helps to have a safe space to put down in writing how you're feeling then please do keep posting here in the Cancer Chat community. We're here to listen and offer any advice and support we can.
