I'm trying so hard to cope. I nursed my first husband through cancer and worried I might have to go that path again.
I feel I am in a nightmare. I can't sleep either.
Due to go on a caravan holiday in 4 weeks. Dreading going incase it makes everything worse away from the safety of my home..
My husband has still to see Urologist and have the first scan.
It's torture.
Can anyone help please.
Hi Gims
Sorry to hear about what you are going through, I can relate to the issue of going away from the odd occasion when we have gone away and what I did then was to check to ensure I knew where the local hospital was in case there was anything we needed.
Not sleeping can rapidly make anyone very unwell rather quickly, have you talked to your GP about how you are feeling as perhaps they can help support you.
<<hugs>>

Thankyou for your reply. I feel such a coward as my second husband has not even been diagnosed with anything yet. My anxiety is off the wall and my mind is all over the place.
I may need to see my doctor as the worry is unbearable.
It's the waiting !
Thankyou for your kindness.
Maybe once we have seen the Urologist and things start moving I'll begin to feel better.
Many thanks .
