Tom always said when he was first diagnosed with OC 19 mths ago that he wanted quality and not quantity of life, and up until today never showed any negative emotions.He looked so sad this morning and said he felt like crying with the way he felt and he thought that he was pulling me down as well with all I had to do for him,but like I told him he would do the same for me.He now looks so ill and spends large parts of the day asleep it breaks my heart to watch him suffer,his quality of life is just seeping away,life is so cruel sometimes and I just feel so helpless I just wish I could take some of his pain away.

Oh Marianne just being there you are doing that, believe me it means the world to him.

Stay strong and hang on in there, I know how hard it is to watch the love of your life slowly ebbing away in front of your very eyes......remember where there's life there's hope.

Big Hug

Kay

As others have said Marianne just being there will mean so much. I know it upsets mum if any of us are upset but sometimes you can't help it. After a big hug and a few tears together we feel better. It is hard not to be upset though when the one you love is slowly leaving, no other way of saying it it is horrible. Take care and be together.

Marianne, you and Tom have done so well to come this far and battle so hard against gullet cancer I know from bitter experience how tough it is. Im sure Tom appreciates all the help and support you give him. Take care.

((hugs)) to you and Tom, this is such a difficult journey for both of you, try to treasure each day and keep strong. Tom will be worrying for you, and you for him, so keep on talking. I lost Mum to the same cancer last September and am still devastated but cannot begin to know what it feels like when it is your partner. Just wanted to send some ((hugs )) and strength your way, with love Sharonxx
