  • Dropped in to say hi to other men that are along for this journey with their wife.

    Although my wife has cancer I suffer with every ache and pain she has. When she is in pain or has worry and anxiety it absolutely breaks my heart. If I could take the pain for her I would.

    How do you stay strong for your wife? I feel everything I do for her is trivial in comparison to what must be going through her mind.

    Hello never be the same. I see that your post was some time ago. Our journey started nearly 5 years ago. When did yours? How is your wife doing? What stage is her cancer at?

  • Hello neverbethesame33,
    
    Acknowledging your sentiments, I comprehend the challenge in observing your cherished one endure distress. Providing its substantial significance, being present for them holds immeasurable value, notwithstanding its perceived minuteness. Keep in mind, the influence of your backing carries weight.
    
    Farewell.

    Hey there to anyone,

    My 50 year old wife is 22 months into her stage IV diagnosis. Got a PET report this morning showing probable liver spread. I'm wondering who has experienced this. I'm just struggling feeling like this is the beginning of the end.

    Hi There jbradb52:

    I'm so sorry to hear that. My wife has Stage 2, diagnosed in June 2019.

    Please make sure you get some sort of counselling for yourself. That's what I did not do at the beginning of our cancer journey and it was a big mistake.

    Any update?
