Day 13 since diagnosis.( Husband has stage 4 lung cancer with mets to liver and pancreas) My husband, Alan, had chemo yesterday. His first cycle of three.When i woke up he was crying and he has been asleep on and off all day. He managed some soup which was good and has been listening to music .This does comfort him alot. My son and daughter are 12 and 13 and they have been in and out of the house but i think it is starting to hit them how ill he really is. I will be glad when they are at school and getting support from all their friends. I feel a bit guilty as my husband was out of work last summer so we did not go anywhere on holiday or day trips and now we are in this situation.They are such lovely children and really do understand why we are at home alot but i feel a bit sad all the same that we are not rushing here and there like we used to.One thing i have found hard in these early days is remembering to update family and friends and fielding their phone calls.I keep forgetting who i have told what. I suppose i should start writing things down but i have never been very organised!I managed to get six hours sleep last night which was great! Of course i feel all the more tired for getting some sleep at last. Typical! I am hoping that Alan will feel ok later on today and tonight. The only symptoms at the moment are fatique and hiccups.He is emotionally drained though and sad, because up until yesterday he was whizzing here and there and pottering about. I really hope he feels a bit stronger in the next few days..
