Hello, I'm new here. Two weeks ago, or was it 3? Seems like forever, my husband was diagnosed with squamous non small cell cancer in the top of his right lung.
I'm devastated. He's 72 and I'm 68. I'm angry too. We're both stopped smoking 6 years ago and I feel angry about it. How do I know when he needs comfort and when he needs to be alone.
Tbh I don't know what I'm asking, I just want to tell the world that my husband has been diagnosed.
Sorry.
Debbie
Hi Debs1958
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
In the early days after my wife's daignosis it took me a while to work out how I felt. Something that helped me as we went on was looking at your feelings when someone has cancer as being able to recognize the emotions and accept them as normal and valid helped me get less overwhelmed.
In some ways the cancer has helped us become closer as we have become more open about our feelings, can't say we always get it right but there are more good days than anything else.
<<hugs>>
