Hiya
My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic, liver and lung cancer in March this year, I have recently read on my husbands notes on his GP records that he is in his final weeks. This was so hard seeing it in black and white, even though we can see him deteriorating. He is still at home. He hasn’t been able to have his chemo for 8 weeks now as he keeps getting infections. He is due for chemo this Thursday, but I’m wondering why they book him in for chemo when they have it written down that he only has weeks left. He isn’t eating as much now but tries to keep a positive attitude. I didn’t tell mys husband I read this about his prognosis as I want him to remain positive, am I doing the right thing? I know no one can tell me if it’s right or wrong, but I am really struggling with his.
