My husband just found out that he’s got leukaemia. No symptoms, he had a routine blood test. He’s never ill. I’m scared. The first few days it was about getting through the tasks. Now the feelings are kicking in and I don’t know how to cope with them all. Everything I thought about our future is unsafe.
