Hi I'm supporting my husband through colon cancer he had a ruptured bowel in October and that's how we found it was Cancer. He is currently having chemo and we have just heard our grandchildren are poorly so Christmas is cancelled and it will just be us two.
He nearly died in resus so we feel very grateful that he has the chance of treatment and cure and we coped with 3 weeks in hospital and all the fear around his hospital stay but the thought of a family Christmas has been what's kept us going and now we feel utterly broken.
Anyone else feeling wobbly about Christmas
Hi DlFarmgirl and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll both find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your grandchildren are ill and won't be joining you for Christmas. This must be very disappointing for you after everything you've been through recently. Would it be possible to see them via Skype or Facetime? I know it's not the same as being there in person but at least you'll get to see them on the day.
You might also want to post in the carers only forum, which I can see you've joined, to see how others are coping with Christmas.
It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
