I am just randomly posting and in a state of total shock and disbelief.My husband who was out cycling on March 5th was taken by me to A&E on March 12th as I thought he had suffered a stroke. A CT scan raised concerns, he was admitted and an MRI scan done the next day. I then received a phone call from a Consultant informing me that my husband had lesions on the brain and abnormalities on liver and bowel with no apparent primary cancer source. However after a suspicious mole was found a dermatologist considered this to potentially be a melanoma primary. I brought him home now walking unsteadily with a stick and took him back the next day, aTuesday for an excision of his mole. This has been sent for biopsy and we have to wait 2 weeks for a result. He was taken back to hospital this morning as his mobility and cognitive function deteriorated again. He has had anther MRI scan and been given a Zimmer frame.I am in total shock and disbelief and do not know how I am going to get though this.This is a very long post but I needed to get everything written down in the hope that someone out there might be able to help me understand how I will survive.
Hi Betty21 welcome to the forum. I imagine that you and he will be in total shock at what has happened and also the speed at which things have gone downhill for you both and little wonder. You wouldnt be human if you didnt feel shocked and I am so glad that you felt able to write it down here so that we can at least let you know that you are not alone and we are here for you.
Get through this you will, one day at a time and dont look or think any further than that at the moment, just take a day at a time and Survive you will and we will support you as much as we can.
If you felt that you wanted to chat with someone then please do give the lovely folks at the Macmillan Line a call as they can listen and may just help you to talk to someone.
Meantime Im sending some huge big hugs your way. xxx
