Hi Leeanne
So sorry to read why you are here.
There are some forums here in The Community that you might find useful joining. There is a separate section for people caring for partners who are terminally ill Caring for somebody incurably ill and there is the group where I hang out Head and Neck Cancer Group Just click on the links I have made
Do you have a Maggie's near you? They provide excellent support and it might be a good idea for you to drop in yourself.
I hope he gets home soon to be with his family.

You and your husband are soldiers. Continue the fight!! Be positive even during the most trying times. If a young child with cancer can be courageous so can we as adults. Your strength and perseverance have not gone unnoticed. You are my hero. God Bless You!!!
Thank you very much sending love to such a kind person x
I have medullary thyroid cancer that has metastasized. My partner has stuck by my side just as you have with your husband. The saying behind every man is a great woman is so true. Your husband and children will never forget the sacrifices you have made and the crosses you have had to bare. Most of all God notices this. Your love and patience will not go unnoticed. I will say prayers for your husband, yourself and your family. You are fighting the good fight. Thank you for the example you have set for me. I am blessed having had the chance to speak to you.
Thank you every so much the kids and hubby dont ever say how much they appreciate me but by you saying I am a good person makes me believe in myself more. Im glad you have a wonderful man behind u some are not so lucky bless them. Good luck sweetheart x
