After being told the removal of cancer would be ‘straightforward’ to now having had no surgery, 5 rounds of radiotherapy and 5 sessions of high dose immunotherapy to nothing has worked and the cancer has spread to other places. I’m beyond devastated.
We were told months and not years.
How do I do this? how will I cope with his loss? Can I care for him when he needs me? Will my job support me with what time I need? How can I help him?
how do I do this?
Hi, so sorry to read this
You are in the right place for support but I would also speak to Maggies if you have site local but I believe they can support remotely.
Dont try to do this alone, we are all here to help but this where friend and family will need to step up
No matter how long we all have cherish the time together, make memories - it can be so hard but it will help. I have stage 4 prostate cancer which is very aggressive and I am aged 53. I have a 13 year daughter who is now my focus to ensure when I am gone she can look back through the tears and remember the happy times.
I think Macmillan have telephone support, definitely reach out and speak to them
I hope this helps in some way
Thank you for taking the time to respond, given what you are dealing with. I pray you and your daughter spend many happy times together that she will forever cherish ️
