Hello thank you for your welcome to the group. My husband has been diagnosed with incurable lung cancer in March this year. He is 38 and Is from Tunisia. Currently living in Scotland. It is awful watching him suffer. Constantly coughing and spitting and obviously exhausted and in so much pain. I feel so helpless. I work full time but can’t at the moment as mentally unable to face people I know. Sending hugs to anyone out there who needs one right now. Lors ‍♀️

Hi Lors, I’m in a very similar situation. My partner was diagnosed only a couple of weeks ago with inoperable bowel cancer that has spread to his liver. Watching someone you love go through such awful pain and suffering is unbearable, such a horrible cruel disease. We have theee teenage children and I’m struggling to try keep things normal for them.
