What to do now - anxiously waiting for husband's test results. How will I cope if he needs treatment? We have no outside support

Am classified as T2N0M0 Bowel Cancer and now in the five year testing regime. Still struggling a bit with the Ileostomy.

My problem now, which is wearing me down, is the recent colonoscopy results for my 80 year old husband.  The Consultant did not seem as confident as he was with me.  Waiting for histology and CT,/MRI Appointments.

As a worrier.  It is affecting me.  Dont want to eat.  

In the worst case scenerio how will I manage especially if he needs chemo.  The hospital is over an hour away.  How will I cope with whole days in the hospital while he has chemo and a sick husband.    We have no family/friends who can help.
