I am so sorry to hear your situation with your husband .
The feelings you have are natural because of your loved one
Their is help professionally and from this forum but i know it will not help your pain seeing your husband go through this
But dont forget he will ne feeling the same as you thinking of what he is putting you through.
I was the same with my wife when we was told about my cancer and looking into her eyes and seeing her pain worrying about me
Use the community champions for help and advice, your GP service
You are both in my prayers and thoughts . Stay strong for each other xx

Hey Geo. Hope you recovery journey has started well. I know its an unpleasant op but you will get better.
We are waiting for Mondays MDT meeting to find out if it's operative or palliative care. He's T3 N2 M0 so we are so hoping it is caught in time.
What was your journey to the op like?
Wish you all the best xxxx
