  • Hi Melita,

    Welcone to this supportive forum. Yes, when someone we love has cancer, It does make us feel useless. Over the years I have lost several family member to cancer and each time it has made me feel like you describe especially when it was my mother. Dont be to hard on yourself, it's alway difficult to know what to say or do. The main this is I feel sure your husband will realize you are there supporting him which is what matters most.

    Take care and please stay in contact, Brian.
