Yesterday we where given the news that nothing more can be done for my wife and the cancer will take her in weeks to months depending on a few decisions. Her mental capacity isn't all there but when they told us all the news as a family I could feel, hear and see the pain it gave her after all the fight along with 6 ops in the last 10-11 months. I told our 2 young children and all we can do now try to enjoy whatever time we have left. I'm scared. Scared to lose the person who help shape the man and dad I am now. Shes my best friend and my hero. She gave me strength when I had non and helped me build me back up. I wish I could repay that.. all the best to everyone
Hi Berto, I am so sorry to hear you have had this news. Sending you courage and hugs. The hardest part of losing people we love can be that it seems they are no longer with us, but they still are. I hope you can let your friends and family be there for you and support you throughout this time. Please never forget that it’s really OK to ask for help. People want to help, and they don’t always know how, so tell them, if you can.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
