Dear fellow Boomers, My hubby has been ill for some time and has just been diagnosed with cancer. Doctors discovered a mass in his abdomen which has spread to his liver. The mass in his abdomen is pressing on his spine, leaving him unable to walk. He's due for an MRI scan today along with biopsies to see if there are any treatment options. I'm totally broken. Please keeps us in your prayers. Mary

So sorry Mary. I know how it is. I just lost two brothers to cancer in the last year.
I hope it's not too late for your husband.
I'm sending positive vibes your way.

MsMercury, I'm so very sorry to hear this terrible news. With a cancer diagnosis the fear and grief can be overwhelming and it's impossible to think about anything else.
Do you have anyone close who can help for a few days with basics like cooking and driving to appointments? After my husband's cancer diagnosis I found it really helped to have someone I could rely on nearby, because I was in shock.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

MsMercury, our most positive thoughts are with you and your husband. We understand how daunting this can be, having been through it now several times. Even as overwhelming as this is, it's important that you take care of yourself as well during this time.
Take care,

Dear Boomers, thank you for all your kind wishes and prayers. Hubby is still in hospital. He's been moved to a Cancer Centre in Glasgow where they discovered a mass which goes the length of his spine so he's been receiving targetted radiotherapy over 5 days for that in the hope it will give him back some mobility. At the moment he's still not able to move his legs very much. He will be returning to our local hospital tomorrow for biopsies, these will be taken from his spine and liver and a treatment plan will hopefully be put in place. He'll also receive intense physio on his legs. I'm so thankful that he's not in any pain and has got some of his appetite back. We speak on the phone every day; our son set up a video call for us but hubby found it too upsetting so we'll stick to phone calls. He worries constantly about me although we keep telling him everything is okay. There might be a chance that I will be able to visit him when he comes back to our local hospital. We don't know what our future holds, we can only take one day at a time. Thank you again for your prayers, support and friendship. Much love, Mary
