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
