    Hi Sophielee

    My dad has terminal bladder cancer, I know you feel alone but you are not, everyone here is full of support and listen when you want to moan or cry, you might also find some answers to questions you have or you can ask a question.

    Hi Sophie Lee, my best friends hubby had

    terminal lung cancer, 3months they told

    him, but he had treatment and lived for

    over a year. No one can predict how long

    someone has to live, it could be less or more. If you need to talk you can always

    PM me. Maybe you would like to read

    my profile. I am here when or if you

    need my help.

    With Love Lucylee. xx

    Hi Sophielee.  Not quite same situation but my grandma has been diagnosed with lung cancer and due to other health issues isn't able to have surgery or chemo, will just be able to have one lot of radiotherapy if gets tumor pain.  They've not actually said the words terminal or given a timescale so not sure what to expect ... she is due to come home from hospital on Monday.

    Love Jozzy x

    Hi Sophie

    My sister was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer (secondary) and is in her liver now,  her prognosis was three to four months in March 08 and she is still with us (thank god). No one can give yoiu an exact prognosis, but if you want some advice live each day like it's your last , make new memories and treasure every moment you have with him, and try and stay positive easy for me to say I know but it's what gets me through  my sisters illness.

    Good luck

    Hi Sophielee

    I read your blog but at the time I wasn't a member, took me a while to pluck up the courage to join this site, trying to navigate around the site and hopefully learn as I go. I've tried to see if you had posted anywhere else on the site, but couldn't find anything, so I will try here in the hope that you haven't given up.

    I have recently found myself in the same position as yourself, my partner has also been diagnosed as terminal, it's a very lonely and scary place to be isn't it? If you are still around and you would like to talk please let me know on here, maybe we could find a forum together and hopefully be joined by others. I've spent weeks reading a lot of the forums and there seems to be a lot of nice people on here.

    Hope to hear from you, will keep checking  blog.

    Take care.
