Thankyou for your kind words Linda. I will be there for him and no matter what. Sometimes we don't need words. A gentle hand on his shoulder says a lot. It would be nice if he would share his feelings with me, maybe as time goes on he may open up. It's just hard to be so helpless and I just wanted to talk about it to people who have been there. Thanks again for your reply

Hey David. Don't beat yourself up. You and your mum have been through a lot. Cancer is horrible for everyone and it takes a while to get over it. You have been there for your mum through her journey with cancer and that is fantastic. You need a bit of time to be yourself and I hope that you get it. Be proud of yourself David, because I am proud of you.

Hi Suem 1. Sorry to hear about your husband. It's good that he has a positive attitude. Chemotherapy is different for everyone, and it can be hard at times. Just being there for your husband will mean a lot to him and you may end up feeling helpless and sad as I do. My advice to you is to have a little time for yourself, even if it's only an hour or so. It will give you the strength to carry on. You will be stronger than you realise

Hi. My name is Marley and my husband has stage 3 non small cell lung cancer. He is not coping very well and sits all day with his head in his hands. He won't talk about it to me . He is having Chemo and Immunotherapy. Doctor says no cure, just more time. He gets out of breath very quickly and can't do anything anymore. I feel really sad that I can't help him. I just wanted to write it down and get it off my chest. I don't know what to expect in the coming weeks, but I will have to take it as it comes.
