I have been married for over 30 years but am struggling to cope & feel that our marriage will end before my husband dies from cancer.
My husband had a mental breakdown in 2010 and was dealing with it reasonably well then he was was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma 2years ago after damage to his spine. He responded well to treatment & was due to have a stem cell transplant last year but it was postponed due to Covid. He had six months remission before returning to weekly treatment. He now has a date for SCT.
His treatment regimen over the last two years has seriously affected our relationship. I have become a carer rather than a wife & living with his behaviour makes me more miserable daily. We have friends who help practically but no one who can help emotionally.
This illness is terminal but manageable & he could have many years ahead. Who can I turn for help so that we both have a happy future together.
This post is selfish but after supporting my husband for so long I need to ask for help to continue to do so.
