There so much a cancer patient is terrified of. Tests surgery’s and being immunocompromised. Then there is C19. Its bad enough that u have the o my god disease without other complications. We hear in the news of many oncology patients that have passed by C19.   I am fairly sure it worries me being a widowed  cancer career. But take heart in the fact that you are not alone on what your future looks like. I hope for all your sakes you come out the other side of this world catastrophe. Being without my handsome man has me thinking  of your struggles and how you are coping in these trying times. I hope your outcomes are so much better then my handsome man. God bless.   ...

Tracey2 , my husband got his bladder out. Last year and he adapted quite well. The thing to remember is check your bag. You get so used to not going to the bathroom for a wee that accidents do happen. Also always have a clean set of clothes. It’s like having a overnight bag everywhere you go. Best of luck.😘 ...

Besides dealing with my handsome man checking out, I have to try and stay focast and keep that in check as 3 years ago mum passed cancer also.My BP took over, got a 10 thousand dollar credit card.....my handsome man was not very happy. I have good support from a councillor and my g.p. My children.  They say it takes time for what,  I have a photo on the wall I talk to of my husband it helps but I get were your saying you miss your partner it’s the habits that annoyed you, the more inter-mite stuff. I made a garden out back for mum and now hubby,. It’s good therapy and I must admit it is a feeling of having him close. Maybe think of something that you could Nurture in your partners memory.

My husband was diagnosed stage 2 in the bladder cancer 7 th March ,2 days after he turned 65. Had a radical cystectomy with an I’ll conduit. We are now in October and he is advanced stage 4 bladder cancer secondary bone cancer. The cancer broke his pelvis. He had 5 sessions of radiotherapy. He has gone from 94 kgs to 66. He has had one and a half rounds of chemo and hopes to start immunotherapy next week. He has had a hard slog and still says he will beat this. There is no cure for bone cancer and at the moment his pain meds are high but will be reduced as radiation does it’s job and so to immunotherapy. Hope is all we have and I hope your journey is easier then his. Everybody has a different journey and though it seems helpless at times positivity is what gets us through. Never think the worst and make everyday count.best of luck. ... View more
