Relationships

Have my big appointment tomorrow, have stomach lymphoma , unable to eat solids. Think it has got worse in last few days, oesophagus has tightened.

Know I will get answers at last tomorrow, it has been a long time for diagnosis. 

Things are very stressed at the moment between my husband and I.He has never been good with sickness, is very deep, keeps everything in. Have tried to talk to him, but he just keeps saying wait until we know. I feel like he is blaming me for being ill. We haven’t been out for months as I just haven’t felt up to it.

I have been trying so hard to be positive. 

Am at home most of the time as I am feeling quite nauseous. Have lost so much weight, feel quite weak.Am struggling to drink the protein shakes now. Hoping tomorrow I can talk to the team and get some help , maybe another oesophagus stretch. 

Thought things like this brought you closer ? Is this normal ? 

  • Hello Phippsys,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are not finding the support you need from your husband and that you're feeling physically poorly, I can imagine this is a difficult time for you.

    Different people address health problems in different ways, we always hear, so it is difficult to set a what would be a normal behaviour. Some find it hard to express their feelings whereas others are very expressive instead.

    Hopefully you'll meet others here who can share their stories with you and provide a bit of insight, so feel free to post as much as you need, you're not alone and we're here to listen.

    All the best,
