Hi @lah, that is heartbreaking that he has to go back on chemo and that you are feeling guilty for remembering the life the two of you once had. There is nothing wrong with reminiscing over the people you were prior to him taking ill with this terrible cancer. I think the positive is that they can slow the spread by extracting the 3 largest cancers.

(As you will see, I did move your new discussion post to the conversation you posted earlier this year regarding your husbands colon cancer metastasizing to his lungs. I wanted to make sure that everyone you were able to connect with in this discussion could see and follow up with you on the update.)

I am so glad to hear that he has a positive attitude going into this round of treatment. Is he upset or nervous about having to do chemo again afterwards? What are you doing to help your mental state while walking beside him during this journey?

Hi. Thank you for your response.
He has no problem with doing chemo again. His attitude has been positive. He hasn't talked about it much except to say he will never give up. He has a great attitude and having served in the military for most of his adult life he has strong determination.
For myself, I have let a lot of things around the house go. I was getting so overwhelmed and finally realized I can't do everything - plus a full time job. I am also walking on the treadmill most everyday, and reading the Bible . I want and need to start yoga again. I was going to classes before the pandemic hit and closed everything. Sorry I'm rambling on and on.
