Hi, I don't now think I am on the correct forum but I will carry on anyway. My husband was diagnosed two years ago with a Spindle Cell Sarcoma in his stomach which was inoperable due to being to close to many blood vessels. He had one series of chemo which reduced the tumour and all seemed well, unfortunately when the next CT scan came around there was a change and he had to have more chemo which he did not cope well with. In June this year he seemed as well as he ever had with no symptoms but since then he has declined rapidly and to get no more treatment. He is now under Palliative care at home and getting worse daily. I feel a very lost soul as I am toiling to lift him and now he is having problems taking his tablets, morphine and pain killers. He does not wish to go into a hospice and I totally agree with that but I am spending my days crying and although my two sons are here for me they have their lives. Friends seem to be unwilling to phone, they will text rarely, but I feel like I have some contagious illness so yes I am feeling a bit sorry for myself and need a good telling off. Sorry for the rant.
