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

Hand hold here, so sorry to read your update ❤

Will keep you both in my thoughts @MumofSpud - I know there are a couple of threads on MN that will offer you lots of knowledgable support who have been through the same or very similar. I hope you can find them when you have the will. I'm so sorry this has happened to your family xx

Sorry to read the update . 😞

Sixsmith · 04/10/2022 17:11

My sister just recovered from leukaemia, including a sever chest infection and full body crash, organ failure and intensive care. They told us her brain was gone and to say goodbye.

She's recovered now after a year and you would never even know it had happened.

So don't despair. Miracles do happen

Badger1970 · 04/10/2022 17:13

I'm so sorry.

Albeit very different, I had this news a few weeks ago about my Dad, it's gut wrenching. Your life changes in a heartbeat.
