Hi,
Im really sorry to read about your husband.
Its such a difficult thing to get your head around. Just when you think your doing better and it hits you like a formula one car!
My dad has Mesothelioma, asbestos related lung cancer, and we though chemo was helping to keep it at bay as theres no cure.
Unfortunatley last Tuesday he was told by his consultant that the chemo hasnt worked and if the next treatment does'nt help we dont know where to turn.
My dad seemed to be getting his head round his diagnosis and it was brilliant to have my old dad back. This news is such a set back, he's reacted even worse to his intial diagnosis. I feel so helpless and I too don't know how much he can take.
Your not alone and you never have to be. The people on here are fantastic and really supportive.
