My husband is on the 2ww for suspected mesothelioma, he's had a couple of x-rays and a CT scan. He has a face to face appointment in a couple of days with a consultant. I cant help but think that because it is a face to face appointment that it will be bad news. How do you all stay positive? I don't want him to see me like this, he doesn't need to worry about me on top of what he is going through, but I am so scared.
Hello, I am hoping you receive good news, in my case it was terrible my husband did have mesothelioma. Our world fell apart … some days I cried all day but tried to hide it and be strong for my husband. We were both strong for each other and tried to protect each other … so sad
So sorry to hear this ,my thoughts are with you.No words can explain this awful disease.Just so many cases ,how do we go forward ,how do we get thru this.
like yourself put on the brave face trying to protect him ,didn't want him to know how much stress and strain I was going thru, but in my own way feel guilty ,he needed to know how much I cared.
His time was cut short, very short ,no time to say our goodbyes,no plans made cos we thought we had time ,the immunotherapy would work.
I hope the memories of your time together will help you get thru this x
