After 10 weeks of being treated for laryngitis and chest infections, my partner has finally been diagnosed with lung cancer on 31st January. It has caused palsy with one of his vocal chords resulting in his speaking with a hoarse voice. As his partner and carer, I feel as if I'm a refugee in a whole new world. I remain cheerful and very positive on the outside for his sake. We still have to wait another 2 weeks before they do a biopsy and can finally tell us exactly what we are facing and if there is anything that can be done. In the meantime, his breathlessness continues to get worse each day.
