Lonely place to be

Hi, my partner has stage 4 incurable cancer, we are relatively young with one teenage child. It’s 18 months into diagnosis and things are ok, partner still working and trying to keep things as normal as possible but is recently having fewer good days then bad. It’s so difficult to watch. I’m doing everything I can to support but I feel like am watching the world go by as we live in fear and darkness. I know it sounds a little extreme, but does anyone else feel this way. I’m not the priority here, my partner is but I need to be in good mental health so I can get through this and help my family through this.

  • So sorry to read this, I too am caring for my husband with stage 4 cancer. He was only diagnosed 5 weeks ago but told he may only have 6 weeks without treatment. He has deteriorated rapidly while waiting and I’m feeling very much like you. Make sure you take time for you, this is your battle too and you will need to be strong. We will get through this x
