My partner was diagnosed in February of this year, unfortunately it was found to have spread to the lymph nodes in neck resulting in a stage 4 diagnosis and palliative care route. He attempted to start chemo last week but unfortunately the side effects were too much to bear so he’s currently in hospital being stabilised before starting again, the plan was for 6 months chemo and see how successful it’s been.
mainly looking for reassurance as the word palliative brings up negative connotations, he’s only 46 and we have a 15 month old boy, life feels very cruel at the moment
