I am new to the forum. My husband has recently been diagnosed with a Glioblastoma. I’m so sad for him he’s such a healthy athletic person, has always looked after himself and as our family and friends have said, he’s the last person you would expect to have cancer. My mum died within a few weeks of being diagnosed, without knowing or ever having any pain from her cancer. I was so shocked and have some regrets for things left unsaid. My dad lived a number of years with his cancer. I had such a wonderful time with him when he was so ill, I know it doesn’t seem possible. We had so many stories of his life, such laughs and fun many times at 3 am. Days ran into each other and while it was so sad, the joy he had with all his family, made his passing easy. Nothing was left unsaid, he knew how much he was loved, we played his favourite songs from many many years ago and had many wonderful times reminiscing. This is what I want for my husband when the time comes. I just wanted to say to everyone who is worrying about what to do, how to deal with things ... wait and see what happens, nothing ever works to plan, try hard not too waste the time you have together worrying, easier said than done I know. You will end up in the same place if you worry or not .. try to reach the child within them and let them enjoy past moments and happiness with you. You will be left with such precious memories, never to be repeated. I just hope I can do that again for my husband and let him leave with much love and happiness around him, nothing left unsaid and no regrets.. Hes so precious and deserves a nice end of life ..... hope you understand what I’m trying to say, stay strong and be positive for them xx
