ill spouse

So I guess I just need some support right now.  I don't know if anyone else is or has been in this position. Over the last few years my husband has gone through several surgeries and the removal of colon cancer. We were finally through it all and he was given a clean bill of health. This week we found out he has brain cancer. I just don't know what to d. We are now living with my inlaws. Each of his treatment are $100 out of pocket. I'm terrified of losing my husband and of having to raise our baby alone

I'm sorry you have so much to deal with. My dad had cancer several years ago and found the Cancer Hope Network to be a wonderful support system. They can pair you up with someone who has been through something similar. Here is the link http://www.cancerhopenetwork.org/  Message me if you have any questions or need to talk.

I'm so sorry your going through so much.  What a difficult time this must be for you.  I would recommend finding a support group.  Perhaps ask at the hospital where he is receiving treatment if there is anything available for you.  I have no doubt your incredibly strong, but right now so much is on you.  Being there for your husband, taking care of your child and dealing with the financial challenges that can come with an illness like this.  Finding others who are or have dealt with similar situations might be a great source of support for you, and you count too!  Take good care honey and I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts.

Oh hun im so sorry you and your family are going through this right now.  I don't have any great words of wisdom other than to stay strong and have faith. Not all cancer stories end badly. I have been there with many of my own family and know it's hard. But don't give up. Please feel free to message me any time if you need to talk.
