Hi New diagnosis

Hi struggling cat

sorry to hear of yours and your husbands diagnosis - such a lot to deal with.  My husband was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in May 2022 following some routine blood tests and then in august I was diagnosed with breast cancer so I understand how devastating it feels to have a dual diagnosis 

Hi Struggling cat

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that both you and your husband were diagnosed with cancer.

Wishing you both the best of luck with whatever treatment you both receive.

Best wishes

Hey struggling cat

So sorry to hear your story, what a huge amount to cope with. You must still be reeling from it all. 

You struck a chord with me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and my oldest son diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. Both stage 4. My experience is that I spend all my time worrying about my son and neglect to think about myself. In some ways not a bad thing but it means I don't always look after myself. I'm guessing you will be the same and be focused on your husband's needs to the detriment of looking after yourself. 

I don't know what the answer is but I guess I just want to say make time for yourself. Have time out with friends or by yourself to do the stuff that helps you cope with the s**t deal life has thrown at you.

The best of luck and love to you xxx

Thank you all , this sounds awful I know but I’m so so glad to know I’m not alone ( I truly wish we all had other things to talk about than this ) I felt like I been hit by a brick but also was expected what they told me .

Im ok most of the time then I’m a wreck within seconds , any remotely sad thing on tv and I’m bubbling .

The worst bit is praying they operate soon but dread them saying they can 

Thank you all for replying and making me feel less alone , and he’s to talking about the positives as soon as possible , fingers crossed 

Hi Struggling cat
