Having trouble coping

australia
Offline

Hi all, am very new to this... my 36 year old husband has a very rare and aggressive cancer and is in hopsital for his 2nd round of chemo.  He called me in tears today.  I just don't know how to best support him whilst caring for our 2 young children and keeping everything ticking over.  My own emotions are all over the place and my life has been turned upside down.  Would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation to me (unfortunately). Thank you for reading.

    I am not surprised your emotions are all over the place - you must feel totally lost.  Your husband is so young, too, but you know they can do amazing things today and you must be positive and believe the best.  Chemo does sometimes seem to have terribly depressing effects on some patients. I know it must be very difficult for you but you need to support each other in these difficult times.  Please come and chat to us, anytime, it really does help. x
