My name is Nick and have reached my 75th summer. I’ve been married to Margaret for 54 of those summers, but in our 53rd one, Margaret was diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer. Totally out of the blue!
Margaret has never been one to share sensitive conditions with me, and although we skirt around the “C” word, she’s reluctant to talk to me or in fact, anyone.
What I’d really like to hear from you fine people, is anything that will help us fight this illness together.
I hope you can read between the lines here, and I truly wish you all, the very best for the future. XX
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
