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.

    Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in September (he is 33). He has just finish 6 weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and has the big op in January.

    We also have young children so I understand totally how hard it is to juggle your emotions and keep everything going. My world is also upside down :-(

    Huge hugs xx
