How Did You Feel After Learning About Your Husband's Mesothelioma Diagnosis?
Mesothelioma caregiver Lorraine Kember explains how she felt after learning about her husband's diagnosis.
We felt like we'd been shot, and we had three to nine months to drop. That's how we felt so then, we just had disbelief, anger, and for me, I felt, I felt frightened of the unknown, of what was going to happen and how I was going to cope with it. So for me, I was in a little bit of unreality. I just, I felt numb absolute numb. I went home, everything looked the same but nothing was the same. And so it was a period of not knowing how to act because I couldn't act normal, nothing was normal so it was a really, really hard time.
