The beginning of December my wife lost the use of her left arm and then her left leg,We thought this was a stroke so got her into Hospital,
After a Brain scan we were told she had multiple brain mets a shadow on her lung and her breast,She got Radiotherapy and then the hospital told me they could do nothing else for her,
I was told my wife had weeks or maybe days to live,
I arranged to bring my wife home to look after her,we have hospital bed,hoist, wheelchair and comode for her,
Nurses and carers call every morning afternoon and night to help with things,
It is very difficult to see my wife like this and at times i break down and cry,but not in front of her as i don't want to upset her,
We have been married for nearly 20 years,I am 49 and my wife is 54,
My wife seems to be fine at times but i know the Radiotherpy has prolonged things,I take things one day at a time and am so thankful for each day i spend with her,
One of the hardest things is when my wife speaks of the future and when she gets better,maybe this is her way of coping,
I do get to speak to a macmillan nurse about things and have told my wife this,when i ask my wife if she wants to speak about things she gets upset and says no,
