Good evening everybody,

My name is Ste,I am 54 years of age and I live in Bury,Lancs.

I have been engaged to my partner for the last 8 years and I love her so much it hurts.

So,our life was wonderful,we both work,have a nice house and six beautiful daughters between us. Like everybody I would imagine being married previously and having kids life can be tough but because we have found each other now our kids all love each other and have encompassed our lives.

Sorry for going on so much. Anyway,We have had plans to rent out our house and move to France to be with my partners parents who live there and got a lovely tenant on the 29/11/17. 

Then disaster, after routine blood tests followed by various scans and hospital consultations we are now facing stage 3 ovarian cancer with lymph node problems, all in the space of six weeks.

We are awaiting surgery and chemo very soon in Manchester however I am so sorry for saying this but I yes I cannot cope . I have found the love of my life and this happens. 

I hope and pray that my partner will be fine and the doctors have said it can be curative surgery but I just don't know. 

Anyway, love to everyone and I hope to talk to you soon.

lots of love ste x

    i am so so sorry to read your troubles and it is so difficult we discovered my husband was ill 2017  age 47 surgery chemo radio followed and was recently told he was terminal all I can say is I feel like I living in a dream and this can't be my life. he never complains or  moans  so I stay strong for him. i don't cope with it but it's like it's just  happenenig round me. when you love the person with all  your being I don't  think you can cope but some how for them you do. we talk to each other about it when we need to then we leave it alone and try and live a normal life it works for him and I keep my feelings of sheer panic anger heartache well hidden from him x there is no right or wrong way  and I have found this site helps me ... stay strong and i wish you both a positive end to this awful journey x
