Hubbie been diagnosed with terminal cancer, say months rather than year but obviously can’t be specific.

I can believe how this horrible disease had taken over our lives.  He was so fit and energic but now gas no energy.  You don’t realise what they used to do until they can’t do it anymore.  
I worry how I’m going to cope.  There won’t be enough any hours in the day.  
thank you for listening x 

oh we Sue Ryder support who are keeping him comfortable.  X to 

  • Hello ladylite

    Welcome to the forum, I am so sorry to read about you your Hubbie's terminal cancer diagnosis, believe me I know how terrible a shock that can be.. my thoughts are with you both.

    You are right when you say the there is no specific time frame, everything is best guess, based on old knowledge, the treatment and outcomes change daily, sometimes, I imagine it also depends on the individual and how they perceive their diagnosis, but not always... the best we can do is look forwards and try our best.

    Like you I spent at a lot of time thinking about what it was going to be like for me, how different my life was going to be, how alone! but then I realised that I needed to think about the Now, of course I had to put plans in place for a future that I had refused to imagine in the past, but more importantly, Now...being in the now, living in the now, talking and loving and enjoying each other.. of course we should have always been doing this, but life got in the way (strange saying, but true for most of us)

    I don't know which cancer your hubbie has been diagnosed with, but there are various forums for specific cancers on this site, and also for you, if you would like to know more, please let us know, we are here if you need us.
