My partner has his first scan since starting his chemotherapy second time around, I am dreading the results.
Previously before starting treatment he was showing signs of discomfort around his kidney area,not that he complained, he never does,I noticed. Now he doesn't seem to have that,but he does in his stomach area,it is in a number of places around his body,to include stomach wall.
The scan is Tuesday, and we have a review on 17th which I am sure will be the results too.
However we are going away for a few days next week, which I for sure will cherish and no doubt my lovely partner will without making it a big thing.
He doesn't like me to worry,even though I know he does quietly himself.
I am finding it quite hard to cope some days more than others.
Hi,
its really hard when you know a scan and results are coming up. I try and forget as we can't change the results of the scan and what ifs drive me into a downward spiral. We try and just do little things to cherish the time we have left and make memories of this time together. Sometimes it's just a squeeze of the hand a shared private joke, other days it's a walk. My husband very rarely shares how he's feeling it comes as a shock sometimes to find out how much pain he's in. Enjoy your break away. X
