I'm scared, angry and heartbroken.. Love of my life been diagnosed terminal linitis plastica stomach cancer just three weeks ago and I just can't cope well. He do not have much time left, cancer is already spread out of stomach. I'm a registered nurse and have cared so many cancer patients and still cannot believe that this 'monster' is in our life now.
I'm worried about going to be alone when he is gone.
Hi Shieldmaiden_uk and welcome to the Online Community, although I am am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about the love of your life’s diagnosis.
A terminal cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community has various support groups and I see you have found our Stomach cancer group, this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
You have also found our Carers only and can I also highlight our Supporting someone with incurable cancer as these groups are a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
