Husband has terminal cancer and kids so young

A few months ago my husband (aged 44) was diagnosed with lung cancer and the prognosis isn't good. Our children are only 3 and 6 and I am beyond devastated. I feel so lonely going through this even though friends and family are being supportive. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

  • Hi Meely99, I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't have experience of this but I know in some ways what it's like to feel lonely and scared in the face of your world changing. So I just wanted to offer a hug and support. To say that I am thinking of you. Xx

  • I am a single dad with a 9yr old and just got a stage 4 prostrate result. I am so sorry you are going thru this awful situation. I am scared for my son more than me and sure you feel the same for your children. I live with guilt of ignoring the situation for years as read up symptoms and thought l was bullet proof. I wish you strength and know unfortunately life can do this. Stay strong. I am now reading everything and learning. There's a lot of us out there. You take care and best wishes to you.

  • Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply x

  • Thank you so much and I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Yes it's the children we worry about more than ourselves isn't it? :-(
