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 Justme7 and a warm welcome to the forum though i am really sorry to hear about your husband. Having been both carer and cared for i know it's just as hard for both, In some ways it is harder for the carer. Justme7 I have terminal cancer and though i am doing ok now my partner and i both know what is to come, and having my wonderful partner to support  and care for me when it is time, and most of all knowing it's by the woman i love will make my time much less difficult. Which is all the help i want. take care.

  • Sorry I have taken so long to reply to you.  Thank you for the lovely kind words ,   Your partner sounds wonderful and I wish you both well.  My husband has said similar things and I do feel that we are doing this together.  I feel so sad for him and worried for him but I will always be there .. and I hope that is enough .. but your message has helped.  I am glad that you have love .  All the best to you . 

  • Thank you so much I too will always be there for him whatever he decides to do it’s his choice and I will support him and live him always. 
    take care of yourself too as this takes its toll on us too xx
