My husband has now been diagnosed with kidney lung and bone cancer. This has been totally overwhelming to both of us. Because of all his other health problems ( copd heart failure diabetes) they have told him there can be no treatment. So now we start palliative care. How do we cope with this???? How
togther for 47 years and I’m gonna lose him in the next few months…. My life is broken and to watch him deteriorate in the past 8 weeks is like living in a dark painful nightmare each and every day.
support is being put in place as I write this but even so I just face a world without my love
Hi woohoo 26,
So sorry to hear your news, I was also told I have kidney cancer which has spread to other organs and numerous metastases throughout my entire skeleton.
I was put on palliative care which has been cancelled twice due to staff sickness of which I am still waiting for.
Could you please tell me what support is being put into place?
My husband left me when he found out I have stage 4 advanced kidney cancer as he couldn't cope after 34 years of marriage and don't know what I would of done without my fantastic children and family.
I would say to you just be there for him and show him you love him that's all we want.
Hi Treza
thank you for your response. The palliative care is starting from this week but have got no idea how things progress from here. I’m so sad to hear ur awful story and it’s a shame ur husband didn’t have the strength to stand by u. You do really find out ur true friends in times like these. If u need to scream and shout I am always here. We both need as much support as we can get take care Wendy
