  • Hi

    Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.

    Sorry to hear about your husband, my expereince of cancer is via my wife but her cancer is quite different as she has Leiomyosarcoma. 

    There is quite a lot of information on the main site about bowel cancer, if the bone cancer is actually metastatic bowel cancer then his cancer would be stage 4, My wife never wanted a prognosis and of course it is worth remembering that nobody can tell for sure what will happen with an individual. 

    Something I found really helped me 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 be less overwhelmed.

    Do post on here whenever as someone is always listening and we can all help eachother.

    <<hugs>>
