Hi there, I'm not able to comment on the medical side, but I wanted to say how lucky your wife is to have you. I'm 34. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Since then my husband has hardly shown any care or concern. I know he resents me and the fact that i am ill. I would say trust in God and put your faith in him. I sincerely hope your wife makes a good recovery. God bless your family.

Hi Imran,

So sorry for your wife and family. It must be so hard to be so ill and have two young children to look after. It is also very hard for the carer too to see their partner in pain. Are you able to contact a carers group so that you can access support for yourself. They also have young carers groups with days out for other children in like minded situations. I hope that things do not progress any further for your wife. Best wishes Marion
