hey there your not selfish in saying this.. your human.. ive been with my boyfriend for a year with cancer and i have times where i just want to walk away and never come back.. but i know i cant do that to him.. its really hard and i also feel that sometimes my feelings and emotions are put to the side ahead of his..
i get jealous of other couples.. so carefree with no worries! Whats the prognosis for your husband?

hi there.. feel free to vent on this site!! my boyfriend was 22 when he found out he had advanced bowel cancer.. i can still remember that shocking night.. like a living nightmare!! he told us he had an inoperable tumor.. 6 weeks ago they operated on him and removed it all! he had chemo for what seemed like ages then radiotherapy for around 12 weeks.. all in all was good results! hes now having liver surgery as we speak then the plan is to do the lungs.. a long and lengthy process yes indeed but definatly worth the end result!! he was also left with a permanent stoma which was really hard in him but he didnt have a choice.. being so young and going through this is the worst, but having a great support network makes all the difference.. never give up hope! im always here for a chat when you need to talk.. you will have a lot of down days but good ones to!! lean on those people that will let you and forget the ones that wont.. you are stronger than you know 🙂 good luck with the chemo!! my poor guy had so many probs with his pic line (is that what you have?) he kept getting rashes and it kept coming out!
all the best 🙂

my boyfriend has just gone in for his liver re-section and im so nervous... they talk about all this blood stuff and the risks and its all a big jumble to me.. there are two small tumors on his liver but both in tricky places, which is why they have to remove half of his liver... apparently they have grown since stopping chemo..
i hope once they're out they stay out for good! i hate this stuff i hate watching him in pain.. im sick to death of it! and i hate waiting.. they said the surgery will take ages up to 5-6 hours.. its the waiting that gets me...
im feeling sad 😞
