my husband has been diagnosed with lung cancer he also has heart failure and COPD, he is on oxygen at home 24/7 he cannot be treated as of his frailty. I'm his only carer he won't directly interact with palletive care. We have a nurse that monitors him every week. He's also had to make his last wishes on how they deal with end of life situation. It's scary and I have no one who I can talk to, as I don't want my family getting upset. I put on a brave face for my husband try to stay positive but he's been I'll for over a year and I'm trying to hold it together for him but the cracks are showing in me now his condition has worsened. Is anyone else going through this. I don't know how to hold it together it's very hard. Thankyou 

    1. I am sorry to hear this news for you. Please reach out to the Macmillan nurses who will be assigned to your husband for practical help and support. I know from my mum having heart failure and my late father father having lung cancer how both these illnesses are so cannot begin to imagine managing both together. Please seek and accept help x
