I really don't know where to start. We had a consultation today, as much for me as for my husband as he is suffering from cancer of the throat. The nightmare begins on 2nd Nov and I am terrified for him, but also scared of losing control of my emotions as that won't help him at all. This morning he left briefly to help a friend and I took the opportunity to wail and sob alone. I wanted to scream, to rage to shout, to throw things. When we are finally getting somewhere financially and mentally this has been put upon him. I feel this is just so unjust and there is nothing, nothing I can do to help.
This is really hard for you and your husband and like all of us you will feel helpless. The best thing you can do is to be positive - that is easier said than done - we all know know that. We can’t do the medical stuff but show him that you will get through this and come out stronger at the other end
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
