IPlease, please help me. I have been crying non-stop since morning. About 3 years ago my partner had fluid in his lungs. After many tests we were told it was from an atypical pneumonia made worse by adult-onset asthma. He recovered from the episode and was mostly fine, other than usual coughs and colds. Then a few days ago he developed flu-like symptoms. He's been coughing and has had a lot of phlegm. He also had shivers last night and a temperature of 99.5 F. This morning, before going in to work, he told me he hacked up phlegm which was coffee-colored at first and then deep yellow. I did not google but searched on here instead. I was aghast to find posts saying that coffee-colored phlegm is a sign of the dreaded C. I am trying hard to get him to see his doctor from 3 years ago, but he won't listen. He is only 42, and we have a young child. I am barely able to hold my act together because of my own anxiety issues, and now this. I really cannot cope. Any kind words are welcome.
I also feel like I may have brought this on us. I seem to have a morbid fascination with blogs about death and illness. And the past few weeks have been reading lung and breast cancer blogs and also blogs by people who are mourning the loss of a spouse. All this was before my partner's symptoms and I now feel like I have brought this on us. Please anyone?
