MISSING MY BELOVED HUSBAND

2009-12-21T13:06:43Z

My beloved husband died on the 16th October 2009 after a 6 year battle with tongue cancer which then spread to his liver. He had been so brave and never moaned or complained even though he couldn't eat proper food only liquids due to the chemo and radiotherapy destroying his saliva glands I am so angry that he died but he was in so much pain and discomfort at the end that he couldn't take any more. I can't believe that I will never see or speak to him again, everybody says it will get easier but how can it without the love of my life, he was my world my everything. This Christmas will mean nothing without him. He was only 60, no real age, I thought we would grow old together and the realisation that this will not happen is just too much. I know I should try and build my life without him but the thought of maybe another 20 years or so on my own is unbearable.

I am pleased to have been able to express my feelings and thank anyone who reads this.

Has anyone out there had RFA for secondary liver cancer, or knows of someone that has. I would be interested to hear any comments as it could be a possibility for my husband. He originally had head and neck cancer which spread to the liver.

HOLIDAY INSURANCE

Hello Does anybody out there know of any insurance company that will insure a terminally ill patient to go abroad that doesn't cost as much as the holiday itself. I would say that at the moment my husband is OK although the cancer is deemed to be terminal.

My husband is currently having chemo for secondary liver cancer. We have been told its terminal, how on earth do people cope with that diagnosis its like sitting on a time bomb waiting to go off. I am constantly looking at him to see if any changes are happening, what do we do, live life day by day or take a risk and really go for it with what time we have left. I know there are no real answers but some thoughts from anyone would be good.
