Hi,

I'm Laura. My husband was diagnosed with cancer 17th December 2023. It's in his bowels, liver and lungs. It's non operable. He's had two rounds of chemo and we found out last week that the lesions in his lungs and liver have grown despite the chemo. Obviously we don't know how long he's got. He's not been keeping well recently and it's just me and him at home. 

I am scared as I am completely emotionally shut down. I cry silent tears when he's upset, it has broken my heart. 

I know it's my brain protecting me but I'm scared of this feeling of nothing and disconnect.
