Terribly worried.

Hi,as my title tells I’m just so worried about my husband who was only diagnosed on Friday of last week. He is having a C T scan next Friday. He’s so positive and up beat about it all which of course is a great way to be. However I am terrified about it all and feel I can’t tell him all of my worries since I don’t want my fears to impact on his positive attitude. We have told friends and family but again I’m just falling in with the positive vibe while I feel our lives are collapsing all around. Sorry if I’m being a downer.

  • Hello Allie,

    Sorry to hear about your husband, it is natural to be worried.

    I have cancer and have done for nearly 13 years, from my experiences is alway harder for the loved ones who feel helpless and at times hopeless.

    You can always speak with the cancer nurses on here or you can contact macmillian who also offer support for people who have family members with cancer.their number is  0808 8080000.

    You should speak to your husband about your concerns, I’m sure he has his own worries about it, it is also good to ask any questions when you see the doctors looking after his care.

    Also the community on here is amazing so feel free to reach out to myself or anyone. 

    I hope all goes well, but remember you and your husband aren’t alone dealing with cancer.

  • Thanks so much Chris for you kind words and advice.

    Sending you my best wishes for many years to come.

    Im just a wee bit in shock at the moment,however as you advise I  will have a good chat with my husband,which I’m sure will bring us both some comfort.

    Please take care and thank you again.
