Everything is too hard. Husband had colonoscopy recently. Found something waiting for histology, CT and MRI.
Consultant said my T2N0M0 is a cure rather than remission. Now on 5 year follow up.
Now possibility of husband with same disease (only looks like worse).
How do I cope. If chemo as well. We are 35 miles from the hospital over an hour each way. I hear chemo can be all day. What do I do. What can I do. He is 80 years old 11 years older than me.
Everything I have done over the years to help myself he has taken and suddenly it's his idea.
Am I being selfish for being so overwhelmed already?
I have no friends or family to help hence selfishly venture on here.
Thank you for listening.
