Bowel Cancer that’s spread, anyone else been through this?

My wife has been through the mill over the last 4 or so years. She was diagnosed initially with Bowel Cancer which was operated on, followed by Chemotherapy. Last year she was told it had spread to her left lung, so had a third of her left lung removed. Last week it was confirmed that the same cancer is now in the trachea and is inoperable. She will start 4 weeks intensive radiotherapy, and we go from there.

 

anyone else been through anything similar? As the person  being the support here I'm looking for advice, support etc on all aspects.

 

thanks in advance.
