Hi Hel love and hugs to both of you on this awful journey, My husband was told 18 months ago about his Cancer and has had to deal with this in his own way in his time.Shutting out the people he loved so not to have them hurt, I know my husband world was knocked for six when he found out about his but stay strong and positive for each other.New discoveries are being found every day. I struggle with the word 'Carer' as I don't do anything different now well maybe worry a lot more but I married my husband for "richer for poorer in sickness and health till death do we part" So when he was diagnosed with his cancer and I am referred to as his carer I struggle with this,as i don't see me doing anything different now to before. I believe we just have to accept our lot and move forward on our new path in life. My dear old dad who lived to be 97Yrs young use to say "Any day above the ground is a good one" So love and prays to you and your husband on your journey. RenyHill ... View more

Hi I also agree others just don't get it and they don't know what to say to some one either with or sharing the Cancer journey. my husbands pet hate is when people say to him "Oh but you look so well" when he tells them he has NHL and feels like crap! love and hugs to you and your family.

Hello Emily Thank you I will definitely stay in touch, can I ask how old your husband is? It seems when we go for treatment John my Husband is the youngest there. Its like everyone else has much more severe cancers which makes his seem insignificant and he shouldn't complain.We are lucky we can have treatment in our home town Bendigo country Victoria and don't have to travel to Melbourne much. The Oncology Department are an amazing Team the Dr and nurses are just brilliant. Our live have certainly changed My husband doesn't share his feelings very well or like talking about his illness with me or others and doesn't like talking to Councillors.He has moments where he shuts us all out. We attended his cousins funeral last year he also had NHL for several years but developed a Brain Tumor.Jimmy was the same age as my husband John. Can you tell me a little about your husbands moods, emotions during your journey. I say your journey because despite my husbands thoughts about he is the one with this illness we are in this together and it affect the whole family. RenyHill ... View more

Hi Catherine yes it does feel very isolating being so young and having NHL, I hope your journey is a positive one. Also I hope you have a good support network as I believe this is important to your recovery.Our motto is this is just a bump in the road and we have a 4wd so we will get over it, but it has changed our lives forever and at times it is hard to stay positive. Thanks will stay in touch Renyhill ... View more
