Struggling

I am so sorry to her of your husband's bad news, and hope his cancer is at an early stage. I lost my son to stomach cancer also 4 years ago (March 2021). He was only 40.Then 18 months later in the autumn of 2023, his older brother was diagnosed with thymus cancer and had nearly a year of chemo/surgery/radio. Mercifully he is now in remission. It is a real blow when it happens a second time in the same family, I know. Here's hoping your husband gets the treatment he needs. Hugs. Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, Thank you so much for your response and sorry for your loss and the awful time you have had. My son died in March 2021 too and was 35. My husband’s cancer was found incidentally and he has no symptoms. He is due to start radiotherapy soon and we are hopeful and I do feel a lot better today about things. It was seeing his timetable that set me off yesterday, such a little thing but it reminded me of our son Tom.

kind regards Janey

No, it's not a little thing. It's huge. And too much for anyone particularly after the loss of a child, which you are still having to cope with. Losing a child is the hardest thing that can ever happen to a mother, whatever the "child's" age. I wish you strength to carry this new burden. Rebecca
