When its hard to see them suffering

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by keeping caring for your loved one ?

Its been over a year since diagnosis with prognosis of 12, months 

Lots of ups and downs during that time 

Im finding it hard to be 'on duty' all the time for hubby the longer we travel this path.

Always feel on high alert for next crisis and spills into other stuff

Own health not great which doesnt help.

 this cancer business is truly cruel for our loved ones and b.....rubbish for us who love em. Hubby now experiencing lots of pain which is making life very difficult for him

The secondaries are getting worse 

its hard to watch and I just keep going into another room to cry 

I feel so angry at the cancer 

Phew its rubbish

Wishing everyone the strength to continue their fights

  • This is normal I feel the exact same. I feel like I've lost the man I married and it makes me so sad because its not his fault. I suffer with panic attacks and I feel really stressed with everything going on. Im 21 and my husband is 24. I hate cancer. My husband is on 180mg of morphine. I hate morphine!!! I just wish something could be done for him. Xx

  • Oh my dear A-mi4

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband and your circumstances

    You are so young to be going through this 

    I really feel for you both. 

    You are right its very stressful and Im not surprised it is having an impact on your health

    Do you have any support ?

    Macmillian along with CRUK helplines are really helpful 

    Macmillan also help with financial stuff of course you may already have made contact ....

    I agree being able to message helps reduce that feeling of its just me 

    And seeing our hubbys change infront of us is heart breaking and it is a loss ....so feeling sad is quite normal  

    Sending you both love and strength
