sleeping alot

i cant post  too much in detail as i dont want family stumbling across my post.but my partner was diagnosed 15 weeks ago with stage 4.

they have had some treatment in form of surgery but we are waiting a treatment plan still.

i feel totally selfish in saying this but our relationship has taken a blow,they just keep falling asleep throughout the day and once in bed at night their head hits pillow and asleep,not even a cuddle

why does the cancer make them so sleepy all the time?

i am fearing time is limited and dont want to make a big deal of it but want to make the most of time together.

 

  • Hello Bjones19

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that your partner has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. 

    I understand why you don't want to post more information. It makes it a bit difficult to comment on some of the points you've raised but obviously it's a difficult time for you both. The emotional rollercoaster can be tiring and upsetting. 

    I wonder if you might be find it helpful to speak to one of our nurses about the situation. They are available to talk to Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. The office is closed now until Friday 27th but you're welcome to call and speak to them in confidence about your situation. 

    Best wishes,
