My wife has been ill since May with doctors saying it was diverticular disease. We eventually got a private MRI which showed a mass in the pelvis and ascites.
She's had a drain for the ascites and a.CT scan yesterday she has an appointment at Hospital next Tuesday expecting to be told she has stage 4 primary ovarian cancer with spread to the peritoneum and lymphatic system.
We had the MRI results on Tuesday 17th. We've had 9 days of this.
I am devastated, she is terrified. I have lost 9lbs in 9 days, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I just want to hold her. I can't imagine life without the other half of me, we both know the outlook isn't great.
She is sick to death of me, I'm certain of it. I desperately want to step up but I don't know how.
The thought of her suffering is intolerable, the weeks or months or years ahead are terrifying.
Is this still shock? Will I come out of this phase?
Please help
