Partners

Hi everyone

I wanted to ask what everyone's relationships were like after diagnosis?

I'm finding myself feeling very alone.I'm just not always getting the support I'd like from my husband.I don't know if I expect too much or maybe I'm being too needy or overreacting etc 

So anyone's point of view or experience will help greatly thankyou Ness x

  • Hi Ness, when my husband was diagnosed 4 years ago he was really strong he tried not to show his emotions and he wanted to be alone most of the time. I gave him his space but near the end he wanted everyone around him. To be honest he changed a lot during the short time he had cancer sadly he passed away weeks after being diagnosed. Then last year i was diagnosed with Liver cancer and my relationship with my son and daughters and grandkids became very close they were so supportive and do anything for me. They already lost one parent so i think they are doing anything for me to keep me around for as long as they can. I tell them to stop worrying but i would be the same if it was my kids with cancer.-Hugs Diane x
