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.   ...

Hi GigiSaid, I'm sorry to hear about your Mum (and Dad). I wouldn't stress out too much at this stage. They won't know a great deal about the cancer at this stage, so it may well still be an early stage. Try not to stress out too much about what you don't know. You could well be worrying needlessly.   After the colonoscopy hopefully they will have some idea of what stage the cancer is. Depending on the stage, the treatment options will vary.   Take a note pad with you to these appointments with your Mum. Write down what is discussed with the medical staff. Trust me on this.   https://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/what-i-need-to-ask   -sch ... View more

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.😘 ...

it was month 1 for me yesterday. I suffer severe depression and bi polar. 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. Good luck stay positive.😘 ... View more
