Hiya
I had stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma
I was on the Nordic Protocol and between my 5th n 6th chemotherapy my wife had a brain aneurism and died 10 days later in Southampton hospital.
I finished the the treatment with BEAN and Autologous stem cell transplant.
I am now a single parent of my 14 year old boy. and have just handed my notice in today after 26 years.
I don't think I've got it in me anymore.
I'm 57 my beautiful wife was 10 years younger than me .
What are we gonna do without her.

Hi Dave B2
Firstly can I offer my condolences, you have been through so much with your own diagnosis and then, to have your love and support taken from you, by the loss of your dear wife, is "I can only imagine" unbearable
But you have your son, you 14 year old who like you, I imagine, will be feeling lost and alone, this is your time to talk, to be open and honest with each other and sometimes, that brings challenges of its own, but whatever happens, and however you manage it, you will get through this, you will find a way to carry on, one step at a time for each other and because, your wife would have wanted that for you.
Remember, the Macmillan helpline is available to you, and there is the opportunity to access the Bupa Counselling Service and other emotional support.... the link that could offer more information is HERE
Dear Sad ginger guy, we are here for you x
