Hello KP75
I am really sorry to read that your husband has been diagnosed with CUP after having surgery for suspected bowel cancer, and I can understand why you and your family are devastated by this news.
You are welcome here in this forum and I hope that you will also join some other forums where there may be more regular posting, such as Family and Friends or The Emotional Support Forum
In time there may also be other forums which may be of benefit, but for now I imagine it is understanding what treatment will be offered to your husband for this particularly aggressive primary, have you been given any further information?
My Husband does not have the same cancer as yours, he is slightly older at 53, but it is an aggressive cancer, for which his prognosis originally was 4 to 12 months, we are now in Month 19, he is still undergoing treatment and is back, working from home 3 days a week.. So as difficult as I know it can be, try to keep positive, talk to your husband and focus on winning this fight.
It is very difficult for you, especially with the children being so young, my children have grown but I do have two grandchildren under 11 years who live with us, so I can appreciate those difficulties also.
Thinking of you all.
