Three days before my husbands funeral I found out I had cancer. What should I do, I am distraught,my family are grieving at the sudden loss of their dad through cancer.
Hi all m the opposite to you, I was diagnosed 2 years ago and last year was told I'm incurable. Sept this year we came back from holiday to find out my husband has lung cancer. He had been in hospital most of the time since and the cancer has ravaged his body. He had lost over 3 stone. We have been told today that he only has weeks.
As a family its devastating, we have decided to make any and all decisions between us.
It's awlful,absolute respect to my children who have been amazing they are handing everything in their stride.I know they are being strong in front of me and their dad but it breaks my heart to think they are going to lose both their parents at 28 and, 30 have been So strong.
Your children will surprise you, I'm the one crying and breaking down.
The kids amaze me by just how strong they are. My son had to tell our granddaughter today.
You will be surprised by your children's strength and it will give you strength. I can't say how your going to get through it but you will, just like I will, but I know its going to be painful when my husband goes.
Hi, Juliet, what a very sad thing to have happened, you don't say what your prognosis is or if you have a treatment plan. Many cancers are treatable and people go on to live for many years cancer free. Please be positive, although I do understand you must be quite fearful after the death of your husband.
Tonii is absolutely right. Your children, who will be shattered at first have the strength to cope and will surprise you with their resilience. Please come back and talk to us as there are many people who will give you good advice. x
