My husband has cancer and I Am lost

My hero has been diagnosed with myeloma. He is my rock for over 22 years and to think of a life without him is unbearable. I literally am on the verge of crying at any moment and can barely talk to anyone. We have 3 grown up children who all live away and although I have a good friends and family network when it's just me and him I just can't seem to get past the thought of living without him.  Just writing this makes me feel I'm being self indulgent and to pull myself together.  I try and keep hold of the positive stories I've read,  I Just can't keep those thoughts at the front of my mind.

  • Hi Michelle.   My best friend, soulmate husband of 22 years has been given 6/9 months to live he is only 56 .  now on palliative chemo to hopefully extend life , I am too so scared about losing him, and fed up of hearing think positive!! , can't think about anything else , it's a living nightmare. So hard to make memories when they could be last ones . It makes me so sad to look at him . He is being so strong and I feel like I'm letting him down . My family and friends can't imagine what this is like , and hate to hear I'm not coping . Was comforting reading other peoples experiencing. I had stage 3 breast cancer 15 years ago chemo and radio he was so strong for me , would love to hear back on here x

  • Hi buster 07 ditto to your story , bless you , how hard is this !!! Family and friends are there but they really can't understand , not because they don't love you and your partner but they don't live with it every single second of the day , you get to sleep and wake up and bang !! It's all there again xxx not that I'd wish this on anyone ever but it's nice to realise your bit alone with these awful feelings xx
