Hi all, my Husband has terminal cancer. He’s done really well for 21 months. But now things are not looking so good. He has a new lump and he feeling more sick. Tomorrow is scans day. And I’m scared. I thought I had gotten for want of a better word “ used” to the fact this is not going to get better. I’m now thinking I must have been kidding myself. This is the hardest thing I’ve had to do. The hardest is knowing my little girl is going to be heart broken. No child deserves to suffer so young. Life is hard enough as you get older. Love to you all in this club we are in xxx
i guess by now it is scans day - sending you hugs as it is so so scary and so flipping hard - for all of you! My husband also has terminal cancer and i can't come to terms with it. Thinking of you today and hope you get the results quickly and that they are as positive as they can be. x
It's so easy to get caught up in the " ive got this "mode I do exactly this too some days I think I can do this and its always on days he looks good then i crumble on days he looks tired of it all and im frightened hes not going to make through ,the day this is all so hard isn't it and I don't have young children to deal with bless you xxx
Hi thanks for your thoughts and hugs back at you. The coming to terms bit is horrible. A truth no one wants to hear or definitively not process. Day at a time maybe even half a day. Sometimes I just have to do that. Scans done, now the waiting game. He’s feeling sick again today, so that’s making me panic a bit xxx
It’s just like you say. You think your coping then is rips your seat from you. Leaving you in a heap on the floor. I get so scared of the emotions this makes me feel. It literally hurts doesn’t it. Xxx
