well, that was sudden...

[CanadianJohn]

My wife, age 82, has been very lethargic for a few months, doesn't want to eat, sleeps a lot, no energy, etc.

On Sunday, she was okay, more or less, and we did a quick grocery shop.
On Monday, she was distinctly unwell, and we went to ER.
On Wednesday, she was moved to the cancer floor.
On Thursday, we were advised her cancer is terminal, and she has only a few months to live.

The children (all adults) are in shock. As am I, I suppose. She will be coming home as soon as the hospital finish all their tests, and I have to arrange palliative care, etc. Lots of things... making a bedroom downstairs, getting a walk-in shower installed.

Wow, my world has changed really quickly...

I am so very sorry.

How utterly awful. Sadly, it happens.

Where are you located? I'm sure some lovely members on here can recommend local resources you might benefit from.

I'm very sorry to read your news. It sounds like it was really unexpected.
It must be hard to get to grips with this.

I am so very sorry to hear this. Take care.

I am so sorry.
What heartbreaking news. 💔

I’m so sorry.

I'm sorry. Similar happened to my Dad. It had been slowly growing for years and he had never known. He passed away 4 weeks after diagnosis. The shock is awful. Look after yourself.

Be warned. It might be very soon. My dad was like that. And went in 10 days. Xx

Just to let you know that my beloved wife Pamela died today, at the age of 82, of cancer.

She had no pain at any time, and died at home, as she wished.

Just 30 days from diagnosis to death.

John

I’m so so sorry John

You sound like a lovely husband and I’m so sorry you didn’t get more time. A small blessing that she passed how she wished to but so sad that she had to go at all

I hope you will ask for help from those around you if you need it

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad Pamela had a peaceful passing x

I’m so sorry. What a shock for you. I hope you have family & friends supporting you.

So sorry for your loss, John.

DH had 15 days diagnosis to death, its so difficult. So sorry @CanadianJohn

@CanadianJohn so sorry for your loss. Such a shock for you all. RIP Pamela. Glad it was painless.

So very sorry for your loss John. 💐for you .

Sending my deepest sympathy 💐

So sorry to hear that. ❤️

I am so sorry for the loss of your wife.
We had an almost identical experience with my Dad last summer. Same age as your wife. Fit and well then started feeling tired had some bloods done. Went into hospital with anaemia diagnosed with terminal cancer and died a few short weeks later.
It's very difficult to process the speed in which life changes. We are bereft and always will be I feel. It was completely out of the blue. Everyone was shocked when they found out his age as thought he was 10 to 15 years younger.
He had no pain either which I am thankful for.
Take care of yourself over the coming months. Will be thinking of you x
