My husband had bad news today, the herceptin is no longer helping and his tumours have grown. His diagnosis is terminal, and was told 12 weeks as his cancer is aggressive, he’s had chemotherapy and then found he could have the herceptin which is a targeted therapy, so we are back to the clock ticking. Life seems so difficult, we have been shielding, and we have a 10 year old daughter, it feels unreal. I’m a health professional myself, and working from home, trying to support others on the phone, although I won’t be tomorrow, I need to be supporting my own tomorrow
Hi , I'm so sorry to read your post. I can't imagine what you are feeling. I am 70 so it's very different for me, I've had so much time with mine already. Words just don't cut it.
Sending much love,
LoobyLou
