Wife to Husband who has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

Hello lovely, i was in a very similar situation to you 5 years ago but it was bowel cancer. Again we were initially told "don't worry, we can remove it and you'll live until your 90s!" To having a torso mri a week later and being told by the same (very subdued) surgeon that it had actually spread all over the liver. And when I say all over I mean too many tumours to count. 

To say we were both completely devastated was an understatement, I know exactly how it floors you. My kids are the same age as yours now and their dad is still here and fighting. 

Please feel free to message me and we can chat. It's a hard road but you'll be surprised at how well you can go into survival mode xxx 

My kids are 13 and 11. I’m just figuring out what’s going on with me but it is definitely heartbreaking. You never think you will ever leave your kids. They are my sole purpose and mean everything to me. I know how you are feeling. Stay positive look into anything and everythIng. I believe in mind body. If we have reason to live we go farther.

Hey lovely, thank you so much for your reply. That's wonderful your husband is still strong and fighting, that fills me with lots of hope!

I would love to message you, it's so nice to connect with people feeling the same and to chat too! 

The sad part about these forums though, is that you can see how many people are sadly affected by this horrible disease.

Life feels very unfair xxx

Hi lovely, I am so sorry you are going through this right now. Our children are definitely what keep us going!
