Hi, this is so alien to me to post anything on any platform.
my husband is 50 and had a stiff hip in January and after done with physio it didn’t improve so was referred. Things move quickly with an X-ray, MRI & CT. He had a small tumour on the lung and large lesion on the hip. After a failed biopsy in May due to pain but noted there were cancerous cells was given another one on the hip at the beginning of June which they couldn’t do it due to pain and transferred him via ambulance as they didn’t want him walk as afraid on fracturing his hip and sent to a local hospital. He then spent 3 weeks in a hospital bed not moving, had a UTI and some radiotherapy to hip and spine. Had an appointment last Thursday to say it was lung cancer that had spread to bone, adrenal gland and brain. My husband is a 6 ft 3 rugby player that now weights 12 1/2 stone, he has no muscles and is in a wheelchair. The consultant said she won’t do chemo and will see him in a month but gave us no clue on how to build up etc. I have spoken with specialist nurse who said it’s unlikely we’ll get him built up for chemo and he won’t be here come Xmas. He is still looking positive and doesn’t believe this is palliative care. How do I broach this with him and my children. Can anyone on here give me any advice? My heart is breaking
