Hello there, so sorry to hear you got the diagnosis no-one want to hear. I remember when my husband got his, T4N3M0, It felt like our world came crumbling down. It was just as overwhelming.All sort if emotions came in at the same time. It took some time to adapt. What got us through was being told that this form of cancer is very curable. Also,it was a long bumpy road,now 10mths post treatment,he is doing well. Nearly living a normal life again.Stay positive and strong,you can do this. If you feel like talking,this side gave me lots if help and support. Sending you big hugs. Fellow wife Mel x
