I just cant get my head round whats happened.
38 years old and has recently passed away with oesophgeal cancer.
He had a son of 8 years old.
I am his ex partner woth whom he has a child with and its hit me like a tonne of bricks.
Why him? How on earth is it fair? He was a good man and didnt deserve the ending he had.
I feel like the doctors and nurses could have done more for him. They just gave up.
The cancer he had was aggressive and he had the all clear just for it to return and metastase in his bowel and liver.
I guess I just need a rant as im going through the angry stage of grieving.
Hi
I’m sorry for your loss of your ex partner and son’s dad and sending lots of love. That has been very difficult for you. I just wanted to make you aware that in the cancer support section of the forums there is a place for bereaved relatives where you could post for further help too.
i have this cancer and I am 37. It’s not just an old person’s disease. Definitely need to raise awareness of symptoms of this horrible cancer.
