Hi everybody im 51 female i was diagnosed with HER stage 2 breast cancer in may my husband left me when I lost my hair after chemotherapy..im desperately lost and looking for friends
Yes im better off without him we were together 15 years and along with the cancer and chemotherapy im looking for friends and support just feeling very isolated at the moment..thank you for your reply.
Im so sorry but i have to agree with Youtwo about your husband. Have you tried any other forums for support or most places have cancer charity organisations which have lots of things so you could get the support and friends you need in person which you may find more helpful. Or just keep unloading in here. Sending hugs
Thanks for replying yeah I also agree it just came out of the blue which was a massive blow for me having to deal with every thing else on top..the chemotherapy loosing me hair being really un well and facing operations in december..I dont have friends it was always just my husband an myself I know I come across as poor me but honestly me joining this group is the start of me looking out for me ..ive blocked all contact with him so hopefuly i can move on and start my healing journy..maybe make a few friends along the way ..thank you Bungle xx
I am really shocked and saddened by your husbands actions. How could anyone with even minimal compassion treat their spouse this way. He really is better out of your life. It will give you a chance to reconnect with family and a better prospect of making new friends. It will also enable you to devote all your energy to getting healthy again. Sending you some of that compassion your ex so clearly lacked.
Hi thanks so much for your reply..its been an eye opener for me my whole world came crashing down when I got diagnosed then again when he left me it's nearly broken me i just didn't see it comming.. s took alot for me to come on here and reach out but here i am taking the first steps to moving on with a new life and hopefully make some friends along the way...I hope you are also well
Hi thanks for replying. Its been a bit of a weight off even just saying it out loud on here ive not looked into any other forums yet just this one i will at some point..just finished my 4th round of chemo so not feeling to well after that I will look in to more groups when im feeling a bit better thank you so much it means alot that a stranger can reach out and give me some kind words..hugs back to you and I hope you are well xx
Sending good thoughts and positivity your way. I hope you have other folks you can turn to for support. You've been shown unspeakable cruelty. Now's the time for your friends and family to pull out all the stops. Looks like you're not afraid (rightly) to reach out for help. Make sure those close to you know you need it.
