Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you all for being so kind to me through my husband's journey.
Sadly we were told last Friday that his cancer has progressed too far, too fast, and immunotherapy would shorten his life rather than extend it. We have been referred for palliative care and believe it's just a few weeks now.
This journey is and has been a whirlwind, from intrusive tests in April and early May to confirmed diagnosis at the end of May with the hope of treatment, given it could not be cured, to this in the middle of July.
My wonderful husband has been in hospital for the past week and wanted to come home so we can be together as much as possible, with our children, grandchildren, family and friends. We are all devastated. I am scared of what the next few weeks hold, and cannot bear to think beyond that.
But, you all have been brilliant with your guidance, kindness and support, I cannot thank you enough.
I wish you all the very best.
Neat xx
Sounds like what he needs is his home and loving family. Take pictures or moving camera to record all of your family being with him in the next days. You have my prayers.
