Hello, 

 So sorry about the news you got. Your comment about having a feeling there's cancer everywhere around you, really hits home, even though I don't have as many loved ones affected by it. But I am still completely terrified, so I will try to say I kind of know how you feel. 

 I want you to know that even though an operation is not a possibility, you shouldn't lose hope. So much depends on how well the cancer reacts to the treatment. So, just be positive, it is not the end yet. 

 I would say that all you can do right now is to make sure he's with someone who's there to support him, since you can't be there. He also needs to know, you will be there for him. Listen to him, call him, Skype him... Tell him not to give up, because it is possible for him to go in remission for some time after the treatment. 

 And the last thing: if you're overwhelmed with everything that's been going on lately and if feel like you need support, go find someone competent to help you - sometimes just a conversation can make things a little bit better. 

 I hope everything works out well, you and your loved ones will be on my mind. 

Hi, thank you so much for your kind words ️

The last 24 hours have been difficult but I'm determined to be strong and positive for us both. He slept well last night but he puts that down to mental exhaustion from yesterday. Plus, it was only a month ago when he said he had pains in his lower abdomen - no other symptoms whatsoever so to say it's been a shock is an understatement!

I'm so pleased that he is going ahead with his band rehearsal tonight as it will do him good. He will probably play the hell out of the drums ️

PS I'm sorry things are difficult for you too xx

 Yess, I am glad you're staying optimistic and I am sure that you two are to create many more amazing memories together. :grin: 

 Feel free to share when you know more and how well the treatment goes! 

I will thank you xx
