Bad News

Hi to ALL, as some of you will know my wife has been ill for many years, but now things have taken a very bad turn.

Three days ago we were told that Alison has Cancer. Worst of all is that it can't be removed, as it's attached to her Spine, and Bowels. I'm so sorry to all for bringing bad news, as i hope you understand that i will be out of touch for a while, i'll try and pop in every now and then. Thanks to you all for listening, and my prayers are with you.

THANKS xxx

Hi markdt

I have read your post with such pain and sorrow for both yourself and your dear wife, and I am so sorry to read that her condition has worsened in this way. I hope that she is comfortable and as pain free as she possibly can be.

I also genuinely hope that you are coping the best that you possibly can be, and that you have some support at this time?

Please keep us all up to date with how things are going, I want to offer you my deepest sympathies and tell you that we will all be thinking of you both.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I am sorry to hear this news and I am sure everyone will be very understanding. Do remember to look after yourself as it is so easy to forget that. I nursed my husband through a different kind of cancer in 1983 so I sort of understand a little of what you are both dealing with. So don't lose touch with your friends, even the ones who say nothing and seem to disappear. Some just don't know what to say. I often say something and its taken the wrong way, which I hope is not the case now. Take care and soft hugs.

Top be the partner of someone who is ill with the dreaded Big C, it can be a lonely place and you will need all the help and support you can get. I found it to be a lonely place when I was looking after my husband through cancer and now I am going through the same again with my daughter. Whatever help is offered to you and for your dear wife - take it because actions sometimes speak louder than words. My heart goes out to you. I will remember you both in my prayers. Best wishes from Velda.

My deep sympathy and hugs go out to both of you. I came out of hospital only three hours ago and sometimes I only realise how lucky I am to have survived cancer twice, plus a stroke last year,and to be home again after emergency admission on Wednesday when I see others in there struggling. All good wishes and thought to both of you.
