Husband now terminal

My 31 year old husband has been today diagnosed as terminal. His cancer which had gone in July has come back rapidly and now there is nothing they can do Sad. How do you move on from here? We had his sperm frozen to hopefully try ivf but he won't even be alive to try that.

I'm so utterly heartbroken Sad

So sorry to hear that you and your DH are going through this.

Your love for him comes through in every single one of your posts here and I'm sure it's just as obvious as you sit by him.

Wishing him a peaceful passing and all the strength in the world to you when the time comes. X

I haven’t posted before but have been following your thread. I have been thinking about you and your DH - we lost my young uncle not so long ago to cancer. You sound so strong and I am so sad for you both to have to suffer through this. Take care of yourself as well as your DH

xxreeldancerxx · 10/12/2017 17:34

My heart breaks reading this .... you are doing so well and your husband would be so proud of the way you are handling this. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this incredibly sad and difficult time x

Nifflerbowtruckle · 10/12/2017 18:35

My wonderful husband passed away at 17.45. If you ever saw the annoying, argumentative and passionate poster Raziel then that was him.

We are waiting for the nurses to arrive.
