another night another nightmare

Hi, I'm sorry that you're going through this. My mum was pretty silent when she was diagnosed. It was really tough. Her cancer is slow growing which is the only silver lining I can take from everything but because of that, we have had time.

The one thing she said to me about when she was first diagnosed was that she was so grateful I was there. Not to say anything specific or do anything in particular, just being there. 

Of course, I don't know your husband's personality, but I'd imagine he knows you're there and he appreciates it. You just take care of you as well. It's hard being strong for someone if you're not looking after yourself as well. 

Thank yo so much for replying. I've found some info on this site about supporting someone with terminal illness since I posted a few minutes ago, already working my way through that, and your reply is very helpful, I will certainly try to bear in mind that just being there may be all that I need to do for now. Thank you. xxx

I'm glad you're finding some helpful information. I'm about to do the same. I've been kind of just dealing with this myself for the last 6 years and this is literally my first time on this page. It's helping already. 

Best wishes x
