Oh gosh where to begin?
5 years ago my long time partner/husband was told he had terminal prostate cancer. He has been pottering along since then gradually with treatment changes. Last March I was told I had aggressive lung cancer and had open lung surgery in July 2024. I could not tolerate chemo or immunotherapy. I've been left with brain fog and fatigue. By March 2025 I was told I was in the clear and to test again in August.
Meanwhile my husband has become really unwell and unable to do very much.
My thing is that I'm struggling to manage everything. Our children are great. And full of love and support but they have families of their own. So limited.
At last with some dragging of feet my husband agreed to get help from palliative care and help to manage his pain.
I feel that I have had no chance to process my own cancer journey. I'm going to accept counselling I think. Any thoughts?
