My husband was diagnosed with incurable colorectal cancer a year ago. He had 3 poo tests which came back negative and a scan following an emergency admission to hospital and subsequent operation. His round of chemotherapy didn’t have any effect except to allow the cancer to grow. He’s been on immunotherapy for a year now to good effect but there seems to a change and he has to change treatments again. I don’t mind admitting I’m terrified. He’s scared and often feels down but tends to keep things to himself and is outwardly his normal cheery self to everyone else’s. To cap it all he has type 2 diabetes which has resulted in him having a frozen shoulder and some rheumatoid arthritis in his left hand, he’s left handed. He also has neuropathy in his feet from the treatment. He was an avid golfer and we’re hoping that he’ll get back to it again as his frozen shoulder is not related to his cancer.
I suppose the reason I’m here is that I’m feeling really overwhelmed and can’t seem to shake it. It’s been a gradual thing for me as I think we’ve tried to take it one step at a time and be positive but at the minute I’m struggling to cope. So sorry for the rant,
