I lost my husband to prostate cancer with bone mets 16 months ago, I was his sole carer and it broke me, I'm still having bad days. I have had a heart ultrasound and ECG they have found a mass near my heart, I have had an urgent CT scan but have not had results yet. I am so scared for my (grown up) children they can't go through this again so soon. Don't know where to turn.
