  1. Hi Michelle, Thank you for your reply. My husband isn't actually in care at present. The Hospice group come to his home and make decisions based on what they see and what he/I tell them. While it's 'early days' on the morphine thus far, none of us know how long he has, however the Dr's have said they can do no more for him, so it is just palliative care from here on in. I do my best to keep it all going but every now and then it just kicks in a bit and for the two times I've had my melt-downs, I've been told by other members of the family and people I fellowship with that I musn't show my feelings in front of him. I can't quite understand this because my husband and I know each other quite well and although, I am strong most of the time, he knows that this gets to me now and then too. Anyway, I feel as if I'm rambling now, so sorry about that, and talk again soon. Thank you once again.
  2. Hi, I'm new here and right now am feeling a bit overwhelmed and frightened. My husband was informed by the Oncologist last Wednesday that the cancer has spread via his blood to his lungs, the lymph nodes in the chest and lymph nodes under his armpits. He also has some fluid in 1 lung - the Oncologist said it could be because of the cancer. So he has secondary lung and lymphatic cancer. They will not offer chemotherapy as he is not well enough and have referred him to the care of Hospice (carers of people with a life-limiting illness) for pain management and anything else they can help with. While I appear to be holding it all together on the outside, I'm feeling quite hysterical inside and feel a bit helpless as to what to do with these feelings. I have 'burst out' a couple of times, which I'm told is not good for anyone under these circumstances but I simply don't know what to do with it all. Help and suggestions would be most welcomed. Thank you
