I feel like we've grieved for the life we had before he found out he had this horrible disease, then life changed drastically he's been in and out of hospital with infections now is so much different than the last times. His confusion is getting alot better by the day but still showing signs. My heart is breaking I literally don't know what I will do without him. I feel selfish because can you imagine how he feels. I'm 29 with 3 boys and currently pregnant I know I have to be strong but I feel sick all of the time like hollow in my chest I can't stop crying.im hurting so bad and just need someone to talk. 

  • Hi RLCCG,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of what you're going through - I am sure this must be an incredibly difficult time. You certainly don't need to feel selfish, and I expect there will be others here who can relate to how you're feeling.

    Hopefully you have others around you for support, as it sounds like you're dealing with quite a lot. Be sure to keep looking after yourself and taking time for yourself among everything else.

    If you feel you're struggling and would like to reach out for further support, have a look at the resources offered by Macmillan and Maggie's.

    Hopefully this forum can be some help to you as well - we're always here if you need it, and it's often helpful to write things down and reach out to others who understand.

    Wishing you all the best,
