Hi Tasha
I'm really sorry to hear of your situation. It must be devastating for you. I hope you have good support from family and friends. Has your husband been referred to palliative care service in your area - they can make a real difference to quality of life as they are expert in managing symptoms people get from advanced cancer. Perhaps ask your GP about this. You are really welcome to call our cancer nurses at 0800 CANCER (226237)for support and information.
Kind regards
Julie, Cancer Information Nurse
