I am Sigrid & my other half was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year had his kidney removed. But very quickly his cancer has returned & now in liver, lung & brain. The brain side is definitely affecting how he copes daily & is beginning to become anxious about simple things he wouldn’t have done in the past.
He’s now on 2nd line treatment due to side effects & cancer still growing.
He’s recently been in hospital twice due to infection & inflammation. Beginning to get tired much more quickly & not able to be as active as he was last year which is so frustrating for him. especially as no longer able to drive!
Trying to fit in as many bucket list things as we can on days when energy is good.
Just wondering how everyone else is managing through similar situations? Friends & family are very supportive but COVID has made them visiting or us them, hard over the last year. I know I need more support (more mentally at present) from outside to be able to fully cope with what is happening & know it’s time to extend an arm for help.
Hi Sigrid, I replied to your other post in the Secondary Brain Cancer Group so I hope someone from this group comes along soon to answer and share experiences.
Sending you all the best, B xx
