Hi my name is Emma and I’ve not posted before. My husband was diagnosed with cancer Aug 26. He was suffering with a glazed, blurry eye so was referred to opticians then to local hospital and then on to the Royal in Liverpool where it was confirmed he had lesions in both eyes. After further investigation we have found out its primary is the lung which has spread to the eyes, brain, adrenal glands, lymph nodes and spine. He has had radiotherapy on his eyes and spine and has had his 1st Chemo treatment last week. Before chemo he suffered a mild heat attack so they are slowly introducing 2nd chemo and then hopefully immunotherapy.
We have 2 children 16 and 10 I’m holding it together the best I can but it’s really been tough. I’m trying so hard to support my husband who is a closed book so find if hard to emotionally help him. I hate watching him struggle he’s lost his sight in both eyes now so this has been the worst part of all. I feel like he’s wasting away in front of my eyes.
I’m lucky to have massive support around me but I still feel so alone in my thoughts and grief of it all. I’m very fearful of what lies ahead but most of all I don’t know how to help My husband come to terms with it all
I’m up late most nights, once everyone is asleep
