my second journey

This is my second journey with cancer, my first husband died 14 years ago and I remarried 8 years ago to a wonderful man who helped me make another life, now he too has cancer, lung cancer that has metastisized....tomorrow we go to the cancer clinic and he will have a biopsy.....this is new to him so he is optomistic (which is great) but I have worked in health care for 28 years and have read his scan.......but I am so scared of this end of life journey, I hate not being able to fix him, make him better......

  • Hello BerniesVal,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. We are so sorry to hear that your husband has been diagnosed with lung cancer and that you lost your first husband 14 years ago.

    How did the appointment go at the cancer clinic? When do you find out the results of the biopsy? I am glad he is feeling optimistic and it is great that he has a very loving partner by his side who has a lot of experience of looking after a loved one with cancer combined with knowledge of working in healthcare. I am sure he appreciates your support and being by his side during all those appointments.

    You will meet some of our fantastic members here who are in a similar situation and I hope you can support one another at the moment. 

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
