My hubby has just been diagnosed with bowel cancer and widespread metastases on the liver, which are the most urgent concern. Waiting for an oncology appt to see what can be done.
its a total shock and I really want to support him, but two days in all I can do is cry and have panic attack after panic attack. I’m so scared. Any advice?
Hi. I am so sorry that you are all going through this. I wish I had advice, but I am just reaching out in solidarity as my dad got the same diagnosis on Friday. We have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow, but not sure if it is definitely going to happen because he has been so ill this weekend. I hope your husband, and my dad, both get some positive news at the appointments.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
