Hello..
I'm very new here and just here as a bit of an outlet and to be in the company of people who may be going through something similar.
My partner aged 40 was diagnosed with cancer in his cheek approx 18months ago after and it's been a fairly devastating journey since. He was having chemo and radiotherapy this time last year, got what turned out to be an inaccurate 'all clear' in January, was quickly told it had returned and was growing in an unusual way, and is now deteriorating quickly despite having started immunotherapy.
After a week or two of him being very unwell with serious facial bleeding, it has rather hit home that there probably isn't going to be a happy ending to this story. As a couple who hadn't been together too long when he was diagnosed, it has also been, and continues to be, quite difficult to navigate the personal side of things.
I won't go into too much detail as it's not very straight in my mind at the moment (I blame a serious lack of sleep!) but like I say, I'm just here in the hope of writing a few things down in understanding company
I am so sorry all things have gone so badly.
We have a group here for carers supporting their loved ones with incurable disease.
You could maybe post there too and share your feelings with others in the same boat.
Good luck to both of you
Hugs
