My wife was diagnosed in December and from there its just gone down hill non operational tumour spread to limpnoods tried chemotherapy to shrink and contain it no joy had to stop kept getting infections in hospital more than out shes now just gone into a hospice they've told us that the aim is to get her well/comfortable enough to get home. All this time I've tried to keep my emotions in but now can't just keep breaking down and crying a few times in front of her I find it hard to ask or speak or even writing this
