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?

    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.
