4 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer. My world fell apart. Had 2 major surgeries resulting in a permanent colostomy bag and a procedure called ‘v ram flap’… many changes down below. 2 years after this it hit my lung - more surgery. My partner then of 3 years vowed to stick by me and was truly wonderful. 2 weeks ago he crushed me. Said he was going to end things before the cancer but felt he had to stay when I found out about it as it would have made him look bad. I’m absolutely devastated, not eating, crying constantly and have the fear of being alone the rest of my life.
Have my 6 monthly scan next month and can feel it in my gut that it might be back.
How do I get through this? I want him back sooo much
Hi Nicky58 I am so sorry to read about your journey…… I just have no experience in this area but you may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00.
This service provides practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
((hugs))
