Thank you - I really appreciate all your replies

I just want to say 'THANK YOU to those people who took the time to reply to me.  First of all, I wish to apologise because I did not take in to account that there would probably not be many people here because of the Easter break, and also I posted my request for advice in the nurses section which probably made people think that I only wanted in-put from the nurses.  Both my mistakes and once again, my apologies for what was a bit of a rant.  I am in my second bout of breast cancer which is in remission at the moment but by no means 'cured'.  I am also caring for my very ill and disabled husband who I think has the early stages of Alzheimers.  My beloved husband has no-one in the world but me and my biggest worry is if I die first, what will happen to him?  Most days I feel absolutely exhausted but I have promised him that I will never put him in to a care home.  I am not looking for any advice, I just wanted to explain why I went off on one and to apologise..........and once again, to those lovely people who, despite their own troubles, still took the time to reply to me..........THANK YOU SO MUCH.  xxx

  • i can understand what problems you are having im looking after my darling wife Brenda , she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's years ago, she also has white matter brain disease,(where some of the brain slowly dies) and has had 8 Tia's (mini stroke). She did have carers three times a day im on palative care for cancer i was diagnosed Feb 2016 , I've got prostate cancer gone to lymph nodes spine ribs pelvis and a lung, permanent treatment getting changed now and again to keep cancer count down..

    About a month ago my wife had a really bad UTI and went violent when a carer was here, carer called police because I was at Risk, they called ambulance and she went into hospital there should hit a nurse so she went to psychiatric hospital,i visit when I can as I couldn't drive very often so got rid of my car as never well enough to drive, i get relatives to take me, she is improving slowly and im hoping she will be back to normal and back home soon . 

    We All go off on one now and again, its like a safety valve,or we would explode . Any time you want to rent your welcome,and any updates also welcome .
