My husband is waiting for first visit to Urologist and scan.
I nursed my first husband to the end.
I am in mental turmoil waiting for diagnosis for my husband. I think all my feelings from first husband's illness time round have surfaced.
Honestly I can't cope.My anxiety waiting is off the scale.
Thinking about seeing my doctor to get help.
How do you bear the mental pain of waiting.
My husband is very upbeat and obviously I can't share my feelings with him.
Thankyou.
Hi Gims and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I was the one with cancer I know how a cancer diagnosis can impact on everyone.
As the online community is divided into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you also join and post in the carers only group as you'll then connect directly with others in a similar situation to yourself.
If you'd like to do this, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
