In neutral?

So its been a while since I've posted..my husband is still in home care and still fighting the disease. A month ago he was so swollen in the belly and still is but it has gone down a LOT. However his navel is bandaged daily as the fluid seeps through a couple growths in his navel.. his feet and calves still hard and blackened but not as bad. I just dont understand the disease. His belly was SO HARD. His mentality is poor however today was the first in which he sounded sane for the most part. Makes me feel like I should bring him home. But still in my heart i know its momentary thoughts. I will see him tm so ill b able to share more....I figured Im going to get tested for EVERYTHING..I thoroughly am thankful for this site but dont let the disease overtake all life you have. It just occurred to me as I wrote in my journal how much of my thoughts were focused on trying to figure out the disease and symptoms, diagnosis..outlook etc. So much that it WAS MY LIFE.

there are many loyal wifes and husbands here who look after their partner. i think its called love. They stand by them through thick and thin, i hope that you dont have any of the illness's, it must be awful for you all seeing your other half ill and fading away. Iv read some miracouls stories for people regaining some good heath again. I hope its so for you. wishing you well.

Hi stage4

You are obviously an extremely caring person. I’ve often thought it’s worse for the partner/wife/husband than it is for the person with the problems. I certainly felt terrible when I was going into t/p op and leaving wife waiting - yoiks - that was horrid.

I go along with grace111’s comments and also wish you well, and yes, try and enjoy LIFE as much as you can......
