I am thinking of you and your family at this worrying time. I know exactly how you are feeling as my husband has had similar blood disorder, a lymphoma. He has had it for many years and (despite some very scary moments) he has normal blood results now. Try not to panic. Here are some practical suggestions which might help. I think it's a good idea to go with your husband when he has appointments with doctors because two people seem to hear and remember more about what was said. I wish I had kept a written record of the various treatments and exactly when things happened. My husband's hospital records are so thick that when we see anyone they tend to ask us what he is taking and when he had particular treatments/operations etc. I think it helps to do your own research. I eventually found a drug being trialed in the USA and showed the docs the information. My husband was put on it and that really made a difference. Even in dark moments there is hope and I do believe that all the prayers that were said for my husband helped. If you need to chat to someone who has been there please contact me. very best wishes Sue

Teresa Sorry to hear your news. I will remember you and your family in my prayers. x Joanne

I am so very sorry to hear your news. But to try to be positive, if he has at least 15 years you can at least plan to use every moment of those years wisely My sister had similar dreadful news about her husband,53, a few years back, but it was a fast spreading cancer and she lost him the following year. There were so many things they had wanted to do, but had saved the money for an early retirement at 55 when they were planning to move abroad and just enjoy life. They had no time to do that, all the money just sat there. Try to think of the 15 years as being time to enjoy every thing you have wanted to do together. And, 15 years or more is a long time during that time many things may change, new drugs/treatment discovered. I will pray for you.

Hello, Teresa and Bob. What can I say; nothing will make you feel better at the moment. You're in my thoughts and prayers, though. Take care of eachother, and God bless. Glenys x

everybody has already said it kiddo, but look after yourselves, and wait to hear what Doc says; We know a young man who was told at 11yrs he had it, and he`s now 23 and still ok, so God Be With You Both Babs x x x x
