Feeling very alone

My husband is having chemotherapy. He has had cancer which has spread for 5 years.  Tablets stopped working so chemo is a last resort to extend what time he has left.   I know I am not alone in this role as wife and caregiver.  But it does feel like it.    New to area and  have a few friends all with their own worries and families .  I have Children and grandchildren, busy lives but they do what they can for us.  It’s so hard to see loved ones going through this awful disease.   I what to help him but I can’t make it better.    Bless you all that are fighting this  or caregiving.  xx

  • Hello I totally feel the same way as you. I’ve only been with my partner for 18 months and he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in November he has been having chemotherapy every week which has really taken its  toll on him. He is currently in hospital with pneumonia and the consultant has said that he is now very high risk. I’m struggling as he wants to give up because he feels so unwell. I feel totally useless. This time last year we were at our happiest time and now we are at the saddest it’s horrendous watching someone you love go through this isn’t it. 
    I hope you are ok and I suppose knowing we are not alone helps a little. Xx
