I have terminal inoperable incurable rare primary Brain Cancer and I too, am broken hearted for my husband of 36 years. He just doesn’t know what to do and feels entirely disempowered! 

Ive declined Radio and Chemo therapies to date as I remain relatively asymptomatic- it’s weird ! 

I think now there’s a change in the latest scan he’s hoping I’ll go for one or the other .....or both . Not sure I will actually but I can’t bear to tell him. Seeing Oncologist tomorrow and I’ll keep an open mind ....even though I dislike her ! Seeing my husband and sons suffer is almost as bad as suffering myself

Id say go out, have fun, meal, lunch,cinema. Not necessarily with friends though.Just yourselves is more than enough people to consider. It’s hard going out - it’s much easier to cosy in and if that’s the case then so be it ! Do not get caught up with other people’s needs. Important people now are your wife and you and your own family if you have children.

Ive had a couple of months to get to this place mind you - it’s not selfish, it’s self preserving and that’s a must !!!
