I don't know how I feel.

Hi Vic 2021

sending you a huge virtual hug.

My husband has a terminal GBM4 and watching them fade out before our eyes is beyond hard. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels they are living in limbo. I feel as though we go from one appointment to another waiting for "something" to happen but dreading anything happening.

Hang in there.

love n hugs

Wee Me  xx

My partner who has never been sick or been in hospital his whole life, was diagnosed with lung cancer, bone cancer, liver cancer, brain cancer. He has no bad pain but is very tired and lost weight. Hospital have said he has 2 - 3 months left to live. I dont know what to do, I don't want him to know, he's talking about what we can do in the years he has left. Is it unfair not to tell him? I want him to enjoy what he has left, I'm scared and not coping.  I dont know where to turn.

Hi Wee Me,

Thank you so much for your virtual hug, it has made me feel less alone.

I could never have imagined how hard this would be, my husband was at work and martial arts training every day just 4 weeks ago, now he can't eat or drink without vomiting and drifts in and out of sleep all day, it's torture but, like you, i'm terrified of what comes next.

Thank you so much for letting me know I am not alone.

love & hugs

Hi Feelsosad,

Your situation sounds very similar to mine. My husband is a real "my body is a temple" type, exercised regularly, didn't smoke,drink or eat junk food then all of a sudden bowel cancer became colon cancer which became peritoneal and liver cancer. I don't know about you but |I feel like our life together has crumbled and gone already. I can't advise you on whether to tell your partner, you probably know him better than anyone but I think I would want to know if it was me, although it would also terrify me. What a terribly hard situation for you. Although it may feel like it, you are not alone. We can all support eachother through this. 

Love & hugs to you

Hi Vic and wee me, this is all so difficult.  Tomorrow we go to hospital,  worried about what will be said. Maybe he has to know the truth but I don't want him scared. This is a terrible club to be in. It's nice to talk to others in same position.  Hugs to you both xxx

Hi Feelsosad, I hope today isn't too daunting for you, I am thinking of you and sending love and best wishes. This is a terrible burden for you to bear alone, maybe if your partner knows whats happening you will be able to share the burden and your feelings with eachother. My husband is a true head in the sand ostrich & refuses to discuss anything which is one of the reasons I joined this forum, we are all pressure cookers & if we don't release stress in some way we will explode!! Good luck today, thinking of you both XXXX

Thank you. Waiting to go in now.xxx

Thinking about you. Stay strong.  

Love n hugs

Thank you both so much, we are in this together.  They are going to try chemotherapy  to see how it goes. Even a little bit of extra time would be good. I hope things are a little better for you both, stay strong xxx

I'm  so pleased that chemotherapy is an option. There's always hope

Thinking of you and sending love XXXX
