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
