I know there may be more specific sites to put this thread but I can't bring myself to go there
DH is in hospital with Leukaemia- and for the past few weeks has had a chest infection
Now he has 2 chest infections
I have been visiting x2 a day but not since Thursday as I got Covid (for the first time)
The Macmillan nurse has just rung asking me to do a test as the Dr wants to have an conversation' and it might be easier if I am there
Of course I am still testing positive
I tried to get details out of her but all she would say is that it is a serious conversation
Dr is due to ring me soon
I feel sick with nerves and so guilty that I am not there
He is 49
I really need a hand hold

This is such a sad post to read. I am sorry you are going to lose your guy so soon.

I don’t really have any words of comfort to say except that my Mum died from Leukaemia and it seemed to just make her desperately tired but no actual pain. When she did die, it was very peaceful and she was ready and so were we really as we had had 3 months to come to terms with it.

It was too soon, and I think it always is but you will get through this difficult time. Sending loving thoughts.

My DH was slightly older when we found out (a different cancer but still cancer), it's shit. I remember those thoughts and conversations well. Friends and family don't know what to say so often say "Stay positive" which was the last thing I wanted to hear because I needed to offload and that phrase shuts down any conversation but I was able to say things here that I couldn't say out loud. We are always here to listen. Sending you love and strength.
