Hi everyone, so many of these posts have so much in common. I have felt horrendous for the past week as we have had the chemo stopped and the cancer my beautiful husband suffers is ravaging him. I want to think of some good to come from this. Presently I don't know what it is! I hope there is something as I don't want others to suffer like we have. This discussion platform certainly helps and the individuals who support us on this journey restore our faith in human nature.
Xx
Hi, I’m so sorry to hear this, my husband was diagnosed with incurable cancer in Dec, and I think I’m mainly surviving in denial tbh. I try to keep remembering how lucky I am that we met, married and made so many wonderful memories in the time that we’ve had, some people never find that special person. Your husband has a wonderful partner who will hold his hand and be there by his side through this awful time which will bring him so much comfort, again something so many don’t always have. Your words and caring for others will also bring others support and courage to know their not alone, or maybe to post and share feelings too. it really is so heart warming just to know we’re not alone, thank you for being so thoughtful and caring. Take care xx
Thank you GLC I totally agree, we are fortunate we have met someone we love and who.loves us too. As you say some people never have this. Sending you a huge hug and enjoy something in every day together x
I couldn't agree more with both of you, My husband an I met at 17 and I'm so glad we were young as he is going to be taken from me in the near future - we're only 52. We have memories...
Hey all of you battle worn people out there,
I agree we need to try to find the good in the day. I try to remember that whatever we feel we aren't the people dying of or even living with cancer. My husband has been deemed "Stable" now, however on his way to hospice to hopefully get his pain under control. That is IF he will go that is. This is hands down been the worst year in my life and hardest thing I have ever done. I love him so and hate to see all of this pain, frightening change, and well all of it frankly. What good is being "Stable" if you are in bed 22 hours a day?
