My Husband seems to have given up

My husband has stage 3 lung cancer.  He is not having any treatment for it as his quality of life is more important than any treatment can give but he really seems to have given up.  This is making me depressed and I feel really bad for 

feeling this way.  We don't know how long he may have but he's acting as though he won't even make Christmas

  • Hi Songbird30,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to hear this - you certainly shouldn't feel bad; I am sure this must be incredibly difficult and tough to see.

    I hope you have others around you for support at this time, including friends and family. We are also always here for support whenever you need it, even if it's just to write things down.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies from others on the forum soon.

    Take things a day at a time and keep looking after yourself too through all of this.

    If ever you find you need a bit of extra support, organisations such as Macmillan and Maggie's have various resources, helplines and local centres.

    We also have nurses available if you'd like to talk things through. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
