Hi, im new to this forum and very anxious.
My husband has just started the combined treatment , infact just last night. He has ascites, from his cancer (melanoma) and has had to have his tummy drained x2.,,,, and there are also lesions on 1 of his lungs, this has been devastating news for us and only been a few weeks since we were told. Our lifes have been totally transformed overnight. I have point of contact from the specialist oncologist nurse, palliative nurse , macmillan group, our own GP and district nurses ., also support from family and friends.
I cry most days, can't believe this is happening. My husband was always doing something around the house eg DIY,.
Hope this treatment can give us a bit more time.
Anyone else going through or been through our situation?
Hi Tricks
Although my husbands diagnosis is very different to yours, the shock, the tears and the total disbelief is very much a part of what we went through in May/June this year after he got the news that his condition is terminal.
I just wanted to reply to your post to let you know others are here, this is a great place to chat and get advice, I hope someone who can relate similarly to what you are experiencing diagnosis wise, will be a long shortly....in the meantime, just know we are reading and rooting for you
