Hi

My partner has just recovered from two years of bowel cancer lots of surgery. Yes it is a very long road for all concerned but you must remain calm and strong to help him.

You can cry in private because he will need ALL his energy to fight. To help him you could research healthy diet,s

look at Flax seed oil, cottage cheese even make him fruit drinks THAT HAVE CANCER FIGHTING AGENCIES. I put my emotional fear into positive things that could help and make my partner feel stronger. The biggest help is humour we laughed our way down the road for two years because this is what he wanted, i cried in private because it would only weaken him if he had to worrie about me.

Please think about the special nutrition idea it will also help to keep him physically strong.

And an extra tip if ever needed after an operation..

MANUKA HONEY the high grade, healed MRSA after my partner contracted it after bowel surgery and the doctors said they could do no more.

Stay upbeat for him and strong and for you i pray that your brother wins his fight God bless xx

You need to be strong for him and to be there to support him. You should not be drawing attention to yourself by your reactions. He has a long road to travel but with lots of love hopefully it will be a little less difficult for him. This is terrible news for anyone, and I am sorry to hear about this. But, let him know you are there, whether you can do anything, and stay calm. You need to keep calm in a situation like this. Perhaps if you have psychiatric problems you could also see your own doctor for some help about how you can deal with this.

meshelle88 agony auntMy high school sweetheart and father of my daughter was diagnosed with cancer when he was 18, he also hated tears and pitty. Although I was devestated I held it together as much as I could. I supported him, I wentt to all of the doctor visits and I spent all of my time making him happy and comfortable. Is this a terminal cancer? How is HE handling it?
