Hi Rhubarbdragon

Many of us here find ourselves in your position. Whether we have cancer or are a loved one of someone with cancer. Over time the disease wears us out physically and emotionally leaving little energy for ourselves. While those around us expect us to continue giving out our energy to them in various ways whilst expecting us to carry on with our own lives as normal. There comes a point when we need to take a step back, be a little selfish and have some "me" time to preserve our own health and sanity letting others sort out their own lives.

Hello Ed

Thank you for your reply your words  resonate with me at the moment.

I guess some folks just like to take and have no capacity to reciprocate

So you are right I need to advocate for myself as well as hubbys needs 

It is exhausting isnt it ? 

Look after yourself  thanks again for your support
