We are in shock. Hubby had a partially collapsed lung. Treated with chest drain. Lung did not fully inflate due to there being a hole. Surgery to close the hole about a week before Christmas successful, but lots of nodules found. Just over 3 weeks in hospital, discharged Christmas Eve.
Follow up today. Diagnosed with this cancer which they say is due to asbestos exposure. But he has no memory of being exposed. He retired in August after spending all his working life as a civil servant. He feels well, he has not been loosing weight, his appetite is normal. But we are told he has just a year or two left. That chemo, if offered, may or may not extend his life. Having experienced chemo myself and suffered the side effects, if it isn’t offering a cure is there really any point. Sorry to be pessimistic. It has been one thing after another, especially 2021. And now this. Hubby doesn’t want people to know, he needs time to process I know. I felt the same with my cancer in 2020.
