Oh angie ... so so sorry hunny ... hate this cancer ... just wanted to say my thoughts are with you .. make the most of each day ... hold on tightly ... leave nothing unsaid ... sending you both a big hug Chrisie ️ X

Thank you my head is spinning with so many mixed emotions can't believe it !!!

Hi Angie

I'm so very sorry to hear about your partner and unfortunately understand totally how you are feeling. My Husband is 52 years old and went from a healthy man reguarly running 5 miles or more in October 2016 to a stage 4 lung cancer patient in January this year, to say it has devestated our lives is understatement, but somehow you manage to learn to live in this new life.

I, like you cannot imagine life without my wonderful man by the side, the thought of losing him scares me so much, but we don't allow this awful disease to drag us down, we don't want whatever time we have left to just be filled with sadness. Seeing him suffer from the affects of the disease/treatment is very tough but whilst he is still enjoying some form of quality life we will never give up hope and I try to remain as positive as possible.

Like Chrisie has said make the most of everyday, make memories whenever possible, talk openly, cry together, smile and laugh on the good days, be there and hold on tight on the bad ones. Also don't be afraid to ask for support from family and friends, especially for yourself, this wil be taking a toll on you more than you realise.

Although I wish more than anything that none of us were writing posts on this site it can be of comfort at times to know you are not alone in your journey.

My heart goes out to you both and you are in my thoughts.

Sending a big hug

Thank you Lisa

Thankfully my partner is relatively well at the moment and is still working limited hours to what he would normally do . He gets very tired very quickly and has limited voice due to his throat op .

We have our good days although he copes better than me bless him .

He has just had another MRI on his Liver to see how it is doing .

So the results of thst will determine the way forward re Radiotherapy on his throat .

Love and hugs to all suffering from this cruel disease

Hi Angie,

What an awful predicament for your partner to be in.

My only advice is to respect whatever decision he makes about whether or not to have treatment, but to encourage him to gather as much information as he can before he finally decides.

We all have different approaches to risk. What might be seen by one person as a hopeless and futile course of action might be seen by another as giving hope - even though they know there is only a 1 in 20 chance that they will benefit by undergoing the treatment.

Best wishes

Dave
