MI + cancer = 😵😵😵
Mutual support = yay
@Former-Member , @RMG perhaps you would like to share here, you are not alone. My husband with bipolar ii was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March this year. He had surgery, came home, was readmitted to hospital as he got an infection. He is now home and I am struggling to get a routine going.

Hello @Former-Member , I am not well at the moment but wish to give you my most heartfelt thoughts as your beloved husband dies.
It is the most merciful thing to be in the hospice, he needs on call pain relief to make it the most merciful passing possible, and you need support - that's all any off us can wish for.
Even though it is an expected death you will still feel shocked and lost when it happens.
I hope that you have at least one or 2 people in real life who are present so they can give you physical love and affection at this time - Corny

Lives and Loves and Family Trees. Thinking of you. Not easy even with Hospice but lean on them and let them take some of the load.
