Hi,
we were told last week, my husband has a shadow on his lung that looks suspiciously like lung cancer, unfortunately he can’t have a biopsy to confirm this as his lungs are in such a poor state due to COPD and only functioning at 26%. There is also no treatment they can offer him for the same reason! My head is all over the place atm, I don’t want to mither people, but I feel like I’m looking at a brick wall.
Hi Jofra welcome to the group, but I am so sorry to hear the news of your husband. This must of come as a big shock for you both.
Do you have close family or friends that can support you through this difficult time? You can also call the Macmillan support line anytime from 8am until 8pm 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00.
Please do come here and chat when you want, it does make you feel better to get your thoughts into words, and there is always someone here to chat too. You can also join the Supporting someone with incurable cancer forum where you can chat with people in a similar situation to yourself x
my dad currently has stage 4, i have had no contact for 2 years and sudenly feel as though i have no one to support me through this time, im so sorry to hear about your husband,
Hi.
Do you have someone that you can contact to find out how your father is?
Having a stage four cancer diagnosis is a shocker and a lot to process. One day at a time
Best wishes
Ann
Hi, I do have a good support network tbh, I’m finding it hard, taking it in, I’ve expected it for a long time as he as always been a heavy smoker. We are all there for each other but each of us finding it hard to digest. Just getting by one day at a time xx
How do you get your head round something like this ? I’ta hard x
Take one day at a time
I know how you feel we lost my MIL and my father to cancer. Hers was breast to bone his was lung.
Practical support I found rewarding and kept me busy
I felt as though I was making their lives easier as those are the things that slip
Meals, housework or some shopping eases the stress
sending you a hug
Ann
