Hello.  I just wondered if anyone could offer any advise.  I am so afraid for my husband who has had a tumour removed from his bowel and has now been told he has liver cancer.  Waiting to hear if we can try chemo to reduce the cancer to then remove part of liver.  How do you cope with this news.  He is all I have - no children, just a happy marriage of 20 years.  I don't want him to suffer and I want to know what I can do to help him.  Thank you

  • Hi  and welcome to the online community

    It's natural to be afraid for your husband and to wonder what you can do to help him.

    Macmillan has lots of resources to help you and you might like to have a look at the following:

    I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also join and post in the carers only group which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions with others who have a loved one living with cancer. If this is something that you'd like to do clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here.

    When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
