It is just coming up to one year since the love of my life died after she had been diagnosed with lung cancer 11 months previously. We did all the things we could, and if you could die a good death, she certainly did. And we lived it all together. However, I have now been told that there is a chance I may have myeloma. On the 14 day pathway. And though it is not yet confirmed and the prognosis is not as bad (probably get 5 years at my age if confirmed), I still feel that pain that the one person that lived this all with me in her last year is now not here. I feel a little lonely. Gosh life doesn't make things easy sometimes. Still, not even had confirmed diagnosis. Just wanted to say this to people who would know what I was feeling.
Hello padjo59
Firstly I am very sorry to hear of your wife's passing after her lung cancer. I hope that you can take some comfort from being able to do all the things you could with her and were able to support her when she did die. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. Please remember Macmillan is here when you need us.
I am sorry to hear of your possible myeloma and I hope that you soon have some answers about what is going on and what may happen next. It must bring it home as well after your experiences over the last couple of years. Feeling lonely at these times is to be expected. Do you have other family/friends around you?
I hope that it has helped to say how you are feeling on here and people will indeed understand how you are feeling. if talking things through would help then please do give the Support Line a call.
Please do let us know how you are getting on and if there is anything you need, then please do ask.
Jane
