My husband has a stage one bowel cancer he is too frail to have an operation or any out her treatment . He is 80 yeahs old and had mid stage dementia. Has anyone faced this and what will his future life be good or short .
Hi wisper I’m sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis. I can’t comment on how his future will be but maybe you could post on the Ask a Nurse section for advice?
Please make sure you try and look after yourself too? We’re happy to support you through this where we can
Take care
