I had a mastectomy in July and am recovery well I had stage one and no spread of the cancer and the lymph modes were clear. I consider myself lucky as I am only on hormone treatment and although I am having extremely hot flushes when I am drenched in perspiration most of the time it is manageable. My husband has stomach cancer . He was diagnosed in February and there is no cure for him. He is having difficulty swallowing and has just gone through 5 sessions of Radiotheraphy. The community nurse was supposed to arrange for anti nausea tablets for him and after the third session my husband mentioned that he was feeling so sick that she expressed surprise that he hadn’t had been prescribed the tablets. He now has the tablets . He is suffering so much and I feel helpless. He can’t eat without feeling so sick and he finds even the smell of food nauseates him. They say he will find it very difficult for the next two weeks and then things should ease. I feel so upset about everything I and I know I want to blame someone but I feel he could have been helped more. It was a blow when he was diagnosed with cancer and a double blow when I was. I am ok and want my husband to be ok too. I know he can’t be ok in the long run I want things to be as good as possible.
