Not coping

It's 1.14 am and I can't sleep  my husband has stage 4 lung cancer and it terrifies me. We've been together for 45 years and I'm trying to be strong for him but I'm failing miserably. Sometimes I feel almost angry that he might leave me in a world I don't even like anymore and I feel so selfish when he's the one whose sick not me

  • Hi Plumduff, I don’t have any advice but just wanted to comment as what you wrote really resonated with me. My husband was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer and has since had part of his colon removed. I’ve been through so many emotions and one is anger. This is my first post on here so not sure of protocols but just wanted to send you a virtual hug and say I get how you’re feeling and it’s not selfish, it’s really hard being the carer I’m sure you are doing your best for him. Take care. 

  • Hi Violet68

    Welcome 

    Im sorry you are going through this too you are not alone

    I have been on a rollercoaster so far and I am sure you have too from what you say.

    None of us planned to be in this spot and it is tough ...sending hugs to you too

  • Thank you. It’s a hell of a ride. I’m so sorry your husband’s is incurable. I hope you have lots of support around you, it is so very hard being the carer. Sending you love, hugs and strength xx
