Hi Dollydoo,Welcome to the group.I’m so sorry you are struggling.This is a good place for support and advice and I hope you will find it helpful.Has your husband been able to have any treatment ? Love and best wishes Jane
Thank you Jane, my husband had 6 chemotherapy cycles that failed to have any effect, he is no having Immunotherapy treatment and has had 6 sessions he had a CT scan on 19th May for which we are awaiting the result.
Hello Dolly, well I am sorry that you are in a similar situation as I am and feeling helpless.
my partner started his journey 3 years ago and because of Covid was neglected.
he underwent radiotherapy over Christmas and new year 22/23 and has bee in constant pain and in and out of hospital 4 times since, he is currently still in hospital very sick. His oncologist says just months left.
today was a very rough day without going into detail and I found myself walking around the hospital to find the MacMillan support center within the hospital.I sat and I cried in front of a total stranger before I could pour my heart out to tell her how I felt.
after about an hour I walked out feeling a load had been taken from me, words, feelings, pain and anger
give them a try. I do feel for you, but you’re not alone , talk to someone.
Thank you Jane my heart goes out to you too, my anxiety is so high, I run at the weekends and I think this helps a little. I am totally consumed by all of this, take care
Oh Trazel,I’m so very sorry to hear this.You have both been through so much.I hope Macmillan continues to give you some support.Sending virtual hugs.Love Jane xxx
Hi Tracy,I’m so sorry that the chemo didn’t work for your husband.Sadly not all bladder cancers respond to it.Best wishes for the CT results and keep posting here everyone will try and support you.Love Jane xx
was 67 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer - two cycles of chemo did absolutely nothing, so within a week I had a cystoprostatectomy -- I know I was "lucky" but happy to say that 9 years on, I am still here and enjoying life -- "life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain !-- I still e-mail the surgeon on the anniversary to say "Thanks for my life!"
Hi Tracey I am so sorry you are struggling with everything just now. I hope you get positive news with the Immunotherapy treatment. I have bladder cancer, my husband had a Globlastoma and I found it so much harder dealing with his illness. I felt my life was out of control, I was sad, angry and frightened for the future, like you I struggled every day with life. You have support here and I hope you have many family and friends around to help you through this difficult time. I found the Macmillan councillor fantastic, they helped support and guide me through very difficult times and I can’t praise them highly enough. They gave me the tools to help deal with everything, give them a call. Love Anne xx
