My husband has just started palliative care for inoperable, non curative cancer of the small bowel.
Over the years we have had many discussions about his level of alcohol intake - he has always drank more than the recommended 14 units/week, didn't have a couple of alcohol free days in a week - and now this has happened.
I have absolutely no doubt that his previous lifestyle has contributed - in 2015 he had a total gastrectomy for stage 3c stomach cancer - and still drank alcohol after that.
I feel so angry that this current situation is perhaps unnecessary.... now his alcohol intake is zero (his choice).
Years ago I decided we all make our own choices in life, but this is hard to take on board.
Of course i will care for him as long as is necessary.
Thank you for reading this...
