Hi all

ive not been in here for a while….. my husband had Stage 4 cancer of the oesophagus and sadly passed away 4 weeks ago. 
my husband fought this cruel disease and never let it define him. I’m so proud he was my husband.

please don’t give up hope even though I know how tough the journey is.

take care everyone xx

  • So sorry to hear this, your husband sounded like a truly wonderful man.  I hope you are getting support from the people around you. Sending you my love x

  • Dear Evy

    Your grief will be raw yet you have found the time to reach out to this community with words of thoughtfulness.  Your  husband must have been as proud of you as you are of him.  Both of you have borne the consequences of this terrible illness with dignity. 

    Thank you for reminding me that with hope comes strength and not to let this disease define me. 

  • Dear Evy, 

    I am sorry for your loss. I lost my partner 6 weeks ago to this cruel disease. He didn’t have the opportunity to have treatment and lost his battle 3 weeks after the terminal diagnosis. I am still in the denial phase of grief. I was recommended a book called Unexpected Loss and Grief Recovery. I have managed a few chapters so far but it is very insightful and takes you through the process of grieving, coping and managing which I am finding very hard at the moment. I hope you are ok xx

  • Evy, thank you for thinking of us. I'm sorry your husband didn't manage to survive this awful disease. We had our fears confirmed today when the palliative care team nurse told us he has weeks, not months. 

    Kind words like yours inspire and strengthen me x
