I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I can understand your fear as will everyone on this site as they have all been there. All you can do is be there for him and they do wonderful things now with this dreaded disease so keep praying and try to be positive for him (although it's very hard I know). I used to sit down all hours of the day/night and go onto this site and gained great comfort from all of the wonderful people who were there to comfort me, so please keep in touch. Annxx
Just read your blog, course you l b terrified darling its a natural reaction to this terrible disease, im the patient, but i do believe it is worse for family and friends than us, we know how we are feeling and im sure you get a special built in mechanism to help you cope at times like this, mother natures way of helping you.
Although i have loving family and supportive friends im recently separated from my husband and for me having no partner to share this with is doubly hard.
Try and be strong for each other and remain positive cos this goes a long way in helping with the battle of this disease.
You're not alone we have all been terrified, be it carer or patient. My thoughts are with you both. This site was, is a God sent to me as I'm sure it will be to you. Keep in touch, blog and rant as much as you need to, we'll be listening and supporting you. Love Linda
Soooo understand your anxiety. I was where you are 2 months ago. All I can tell you is that though it doesn't get any less scary, you will begin to accept and understand the disease in time, then you begin to get in fighting mode, then you feel like you are actually doing something positive, then you start to feel positive!!! Happy to e-chat to you if you need - just send me a private message and Ill send you my email address. Chin up girl and get those boxing gloves ready!! Love Juliexxx
So sorry to hear the news, my mum was diagnosed with same Nov 2008 so know what you're going through. As above, this site has been my salvation.......mine of advice and help....a great place to let go for a while .....stay positive, it really does work wonders. Thinking of you Miriam xxx
