I am sorry to hear the news about your husband having mesothelioma. I frequently am on the mesothelioma site. I think it would help you if you put in on the left hand side cancer types. Go to mesothelioma and various threads will come up all relating to this illness. I know you are new to share so this may help you finding your way around a little more and will direct you straight to the mesothelioma threads.

My dad was 64 when he passed away of this horrible disease and had it for 21 months with the asbestos being in my dads workplace on exposed pipes. I know exactly how your husband has reacted, my dad was exactly the same, also my dad too was a very fit and healthy man and I relate so well at the shock you must have got when receiving this news. Also these Consultants who give the news, do give it as a matter of fact way and it really is upsetting. I dont think they see the patient as a patient but another number. To those people who have received their diagnosis in a very caring way - then you are lucky!!!

Hope to speak to you soon and lots of love to Peter!!!!!!!!

Hayley,

I'm not surprised you dont know how to feel or what to say, you must still be in shock! What a young age to be told you have cancer. I am so sorry. What treatment are you having?

If you search the Tags section left hand side of page you may find something on cervical cancer, that will take you to other people with the same or similar thing, that you can talk to. It really is a good site with lots of very supportive people. If you actually click on the word Tags (green) it will come up with a search box.

Please continue posting on here, as I'm sure it will help you.

Great big hugs x x x

Mary 51,

Back here again, sorry for previous quick post. If you go to top of page you will find a tab marked "get Support" which you may also find useful. And on cancerbackup.org which is now joined with this site, there is a whole load of info about the different chemo treatments.
I hope you find the site useful. There is lots of friendship and support, which is something we all need when faced with cancer of any sort.
Love & Hugs x

Hi Henrietta,

Thank you for your post, I start chemo soon and im very scared of this because its very hard to think or know what i might have to go through.

Thank you again.

Kind regards

Hayley

Hayley,

I can understand it must be so scary for you. Do you know what chemo and when it starts? Just come on and chat on here or any of the other threads you find that are relevant, whenever you feel like it. You are not on your own. Take care & Big Hugs x x HarryB xx

Hello again Ken

Welcome back. Its good to know that you have some good support to help with your mum. Is she still at home?

I am sure you will do what is best for your mum. How does her illness affect her? Does she have pain, or sickness? Does she have a Mac nurse you can trun to for advice etc?
I hope its warmer there by the sea than the minus 3 we have here at the moment. Take care
