Hi everyone,
Husband just got diagnosed with oesophagal cancer, so far we know it has spread to his pancreas and liver. Meeting is being planned for the next week or so to discuss treatment which they want to start asap.
I might be wrong but I have put 2 and 2 together and have figured this is likely to be terminal and that treatment is designed to help manage his symptoms and extend whatever time he might have left with us.
My instinct is to control what I can - I'm thinking about pulling together friends and family in a war room type situation where we start dividing and conquering the practicalities - for example my son and I are likely to need to move eventually since my income is not enough to cover rent and bills. There is no life insurance and my company policies are limited, have discussed options with my line manager already.
It seems ridiculous, project-managery and all kinds of absurd and I know I am getting ahead of myself. I just want to take the weight of all that from him so he can focus on getting through treatment. And me to some extent so I can focus on supporting him and our son.
Anyone relate?
