Where do I start, husband admitted on Monday we supposedly thought he had covid as he was positive even though we had it back on November midly I might add, it's never left his body.
Fluid around his heart drain started, damage to his kidney and liver and on oxygen, Tuesday or Wednesday am he passed a blood clot investigation showed it was malignant cancer, ct scan done Thursday he now has primary lung cancer secondary liver and spine, they got to check his prostate.
My wold is falling apart, can't start treatment until covid gone don't know whats happening in less than a week and this has all happened.
Dr said covid is present but didn't cause the fluid around his heart it's all because of the cancer, don't know how long his body has been doing this and he was fine 10days ago.
I'm broken, I can't sleep.
Please tell me how am I going to do this,out 9year old knows nothing yet apart from seeing mummy fall apart.
