My husband had non smokers lung cancer which had spread throughout his body. He was diognosed 2 years ago.
He passed away 2 weeks ago. I am finding it really hard to cope. We have 4 children. 27, 23, 17 and 15. I am trying to stay strong for them, but all I keep thinking is I want to go with my husband. We met when I was 16, he was all I new. We did every thing together. I would like to know how other people have got through.

Hi Chrissy,
My husband has non smokers lung cancer that has spread through his body, it is a scary time. You need to stay positive and try and keep a sense of humour it's hard to do at times. When we found out we had so many people telling us they new someone who died from lung cancer, that's all people would tell us it was all negative story's. We know my husband will never get rid of this, they can only control it, hopefully for a long time.
Surround yourself with positive people, and always ask questions if you are not sure.
Thinking of you
Amanda.

Hi, my husband has had 4 cycles of chemo,he has to have CT scans next week. If the cancer has spread or not changed the will send him down to Peter Mac for I think it was called mollicular trial therapy. Something someone told us makes me worry that this is what would happen if they thought nothing else could be done. Does any one know any thing about this? My husband has cancer in his lungs,bones, liympnodes and thyroid they haven't given it a name as they have not found a primary.

Thank you to everyone that shared their story and gave advice, it helped me a lot. My husband starts his second round of chemo on Thursday , he handled it really well last time so fingers crossed this time. Our children are coping well also. It has been good to know that this site is here for support. We are making sure we stay positive and have lots of laughs.

Had a great Mother's Day with my husband and family. My husband has had two lots of chemo so far he has a week off then starts again. I go along felling really positive and confident that he is going to beat this, then I hit a low point were you think what if he doesn't. I don't think I could manage without him. I wish someone could tap us on the shoulder and say don't worry every thing is going to work out ok.

Hi Gail, my husband has not been able to do what he was doing before, we have a farm and he was also a leading hand on the shire. He does not have the energy that he did before he gets very tired, and a bit short of breath. He has had one treatment of chemo which was a double dose last week and another one tomorrow , then a week off and two weeks on again. He handled that rather well so far. His cancer has spread to his bones and thyroid so I'm not sure if that is what is giving him a lot les energy. When were you diagnosed, have you started treatment. We have been told there is no cure but with treatment they hope to shrink and control it.

My husband has started treatment for lung cancer, he has never smoked its a form of cancer normally young Asian woman get. It's hard to watch a person who was always very active not be able to do much. People have generally been very good with their positive comment and wishes. And we are trying to stay positive and retain a sense of humour. I had someone ask me the other day what his life expectancy was, I didn't know how to answer, I thought it was the crappiest thing to ask. I don't even want to ask the doctor that. I would rather people ring and be positive. Was I wrong to feel like this.
