Not sure what way to turn.

I’m so lost and low, my husband had his bowel surgery over a month ago and it went wrong, what followed was a catalogue of disasters. I’m so lost without him, I’m struggling mentally and financially. I’m exhausted.

The poor man has been through so much and he’s still seriously ill. He will never be the man he was when he went in for this surgery they have told us.  When I see him it makes me cry.  This is very rare to happen I must add. I may now have to move house into a more suitable house, I’m just in shock. I don’t  know who to talk to, I’m  keeping strong for my daughters, but I feel I need to speak to someone also. I’m just in shock with all this. I can’t get my head around it.  I watch him every day cry in pain and he’s so very depressed. No one is supporting him. 

  • My son is the same his surgery for bowel cancer was in Match last year and  didn't go well he has a stoma which isn't any bother at all but they cut through his ureta during the operation and he now has a nephrostomy drain in his kidney. He will need another operation in 3 months but he is getting better. Things will get better for your husband but it does take time. Try and stay positive and use this group I have found it really helpful. Good luck l hope things improve xx
