About Butterfly7

Hi I'm 29 and my husbands full time carer he is 87 (yes I know there is an age gap but that doesn't matter to us). He has Advanced Prostate Cancer which has spread to his bones. He struggles with walking so if we do go out to hospital appointments we use the wheelchair. I don't drive yet I'm hoping to pass my test very soon, so we don't get out as much as we would like to but we have fabulous friends and neighbours who support us and my parents who have been fabulous I'd be lost without them I really would. Caring for someone you love with Cancer Is the hardest thing in the world to cope with, at the same time your trying to keep their spirits up it's soul destroying for you but you have to keep going because you love and adore that person and never want to let them down. I suffer with a long term illness myself Neuropathic Bladder Syndrome and Fibromyalgia so it can get tough sometimes well all the time but I find a way to cope because I love my Husband and want to do the best by him. We treasure every moment together and we laugh all the time. Life has it's ups and downs but we all find a way through for those we love.
