Husband recently diagnosed with lung cancer

Hi Frankies mum.

Im sorry to read you are going through this. There are of us here that are on or have been on this rollercoaster. My husband died in October from a very rare sarcoma and our world came crashing down more than once. Its so awful to see them going through this, not knowing what the future will bring. 

Its quite normal to ask those questions, Im forever yhinking, should I have pushed more for his scan results as he had such a long waiting during which time the cancer was growing. But we cant change that. All you can do is face whats coming, hopefully the radiotherapy will help with the pain.

Keep talking here, it helps you feel less alone.

Obe big virtual hug x

Thank you Malengwa, it's good to know others are feeling the same. We're not always sure what to ask when we see the Dr's even though all you want to say is how long and start treatment now !! But hubby is prepared for the fight just need the pain to ease, and not to feel so tired and exhausted. At times just taking it all in is overwhelming but dont want him to see me cry and burden him further, so do that at home with our puppy. All he says is hes worried about me being left on my own and I just hold his hand and say I will never be on my own as he is in my heart. Hes pinning his hopes on the treatment Monday, luckily hes not had to wait long. Thanks for being here. Sending virtual hugs back. Xx

Its hard when you are upset and dont want them to see you. I can remember several times when we just held each other and sobbed together, its OK to do that. At various times we cried at different times and supported each other. Its a horrid time, impossible to comprehend if youve not experienced it.
