I’m so sorry. It sounds like you’re doing a great job of putting your head down and focussing on your end date  for treatment.  My mother has cancer in her family so it wasn’t such a huge shock for me, although very unwelcome  I’ve always thought I’ve inherited more of my motherr’s genes than my father’s. Darned it.    I’m so glad you’ve been able to work through treatment. I was able to do so too with careful management of side effects. I think that really helped me. I hope it’s helping you too. It gave a good reason to get up and push through.  I loved my job (sounds very different from yours though!!!) and it helped give me purpose.   Wishing you the best and prayers up for successful treatment 🙏🌺 ...

I’m so sorry, Milly8517.  Cancer barges uninvited into our lives and causes massive upheavals. There’s no putting lip stick on that pig. I was diagnosed with stage 4 appendix cancer in 2021 and after a wild few years of treatment I’ve been in remission since 2921.  All I can say to you is not discount your husband’s feelings but feed hope and encouragement to him. With the way cancer treatments have advanced so phenomenally in recent years, there’s a lot of living to do yet ❤️‍🩹 Find a medical team who you have faith in and are comfortable with. As a patient that has been the best thing I did. I interviewed my oncologist and his nurse practitioner thoroughly after reviewing him on line  before choosing them.  They are fabulous and suit my desire to use conventional treatments with holistic support (diet, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness etc).   I’m so impressed and glad you’ve reached out for support and guidance.  You will need it. Cancer affects those who love us as well as ourselves as patients.  ... View more
