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

Another handhold here OP xx

Handhold for both of you OP

My dad also had leukaemia around the same age so I'm all too familiar with the conversations x

Honestly don't know what to say to you, other than I will join this army of OL friends to hold your hand and support you, whatever the outcome is. You really will be in my thoughts
