We have got the news that only months are left for my wife. I can’t begin to think how I really feel and to be honest I am so frightened. My wife is very strong but I can see slight deterioration on a daily basis. I’m not feeling great but trying to keep strong and positive for her. It’s not easy. I’m really worried.

  • Hi I can't imagine how you feel, but it's the other way around for me and my wife.  I'm awaiting a prognosis atm.  And yet again she's very strong.  From my point of view, what is helping is her (I think) and I is just sharing every bit of info and making plans in the moment/day to day...  Happy to chat...

  • Hi Jon I feel for you , I am in the same situation with my husband just been told . Its devastating both for them and for you. I am also very worried of whats to come.

    And how to handle things , its very hard.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
