Hi Angie, so sorry for your situation with your husband. All of us on this forum can relate to your feelings, either as a cancer sufferer or as the carer. It’s just so hard😢. Glad you have family around you but you definitely need someone to be able to let your feelings out with. The cancer council are a great support and maybe you could give them a call.   You are being amazing standing with your husband through his illness and working as well. Sending you love and prayers 🙏💕. Linda  ... View more

Hi Marley, so sorry for this horrible diagnosis for your husband. I understand his grief and fear. Maybe he could talk to someone other than you? I know you just want to help him.  Just do what you can for him.  Ask him what he needs from you maybe. My husband was my support person when I had cancer and he was amazing. I think it’s hard for some men to open up about their feelings. I hope you have some support for you too. Love and prayers to you both🙏💕 Linda  ... View more

Hi Ima, hope you’re doing ok this week. During chemo I had lots of protein drinks and mainly soft foods. Custard, rice pudding, baked beans, eggs, chicken soup etc.  Whatever you can manage to eat or drink is good. How many more weeks of treatment do you have? 💕 LindaG  ... View more

Hi Belinda56, that’s awful news for you 😢. So, so sorry. I had a different cancer to you but understand the feelings of anxiety and sadness that goes with a diagnosis like that. You’ve been through so much already. You will just have to trust the specialist’s again.  Hope you have lots of support from family and friends. Just sending you love and prayers 🙏💕 LindaG  ...

Hi Joh38, I am so sorry for what’s happened to your precious wife. When my mum was very unwell she had to have anaesthetic and we never had a proper conversation with her again. Her words were completely jumbled and it was so distressing for us all. She died a few days later. She was in her 80’s   The anaesthetic didn’t cause her death but it did something to her brain for sure. It was a terrible time. Sending you prayers and love for you both🙏💕 LindaG ... View more

Hi Scott, glad this is a place you can put all your feelings out. I haven’t been in your situation so can’t imagine how you are feeling. It must be so hard to not have anyone who can relate to your feelings. I do understand the joy of your family having longer with you. Maybe you feel scared that it’s not true or it might come back? I don’t know. Maybe you can find someone at the Cancer Council to talk to. They are always so lovely. Love and prayers to you. 💕🙏 Linda  ... View more

Hi Paul, just read your post. So sorry for your cancer diagnosis. I didn’t have lung cancer so can’t give you any input on that but I know what it’s like to have a cancer diagnosis.   Just trust that your doctor will give you the best possible treatment for you. Hope you have lots of family and friends to support you. Love and prayers to you. 💕🙏 Linda  ... View more

Hello Doug, so sorry that cancer has returned to your body. Sorry that you have been traumatised by your previous treatment. I can understand that. My first chemo treatment gave me an anaphylactic reaction and I thought I’d made the biggest mistake of my life!  My lovely specialist adjusted all the chemo doses and I was able to finish my 6 months of treatment. Maybe if you express all your fears to your specialist they can reassure you with a decision.  I pray that you will have wisdom with what you decide to do  🙏💕 Linda  ... View more

Hi MJ1, I would def pay to see a gynaecologist! You’ve already waited a year and then to wait another year doesn’t sound right!! Does your doctor suggest paying to see the gynaecologist? Yes sometimes you have to put up a fight for your health. So very sorry that you are so unwell and the health system is failing you. Hope you’ve got someone in your life to support you through this. 🙏💕 LindaG  ... View more

Hi Grahame, so wonderful to have such a good update from you about your wife. She is doing really well. I remember those things like doing the washing or cooking were such achievements to start with. It sounds like you have been through the worst of it and it will just slowly get back to almost normal. Take care🙏💕. LindaG  ... View more
