Hello, I’m new to the group and I’m sitting up at 1am very sad, feeling lonely, worried and frightened.
My husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the duodenum in February. He’s having chemotherapy 24/7 which is making him quite poorly at times. He’s had a good couple of weeks but the last few days after his 3rd cycle he’s gone downhill. we have both been very emotional tonight as he feels he’s declining in health.
I have 3 daughters and although they’re in their twenties, youngest being twenty, I’m worried about them and how they’ll cope. It’s hard trying to be strong for them all. I’m just having a very weak moment and need to vent!
Does anyone else feel the same?
Hi , sorry to hear about the challenges you, your husband and the family are dealing with.
I had a completely different cancer journey so my experience is not what you at the moment but you may find talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer support journey will help you navigate this challenging time.
I see you have posted before and you have joined one of our support groups....... can I recommend you copy and paste this post in both our Carers only and supporting someone with incurable cancer group groups as you will connect with others walking the same journey supporting family and friends through their cancer journey.
