dread

1 minute read time.

well my pops had another bad day today, he broke down telling me how scared he is. It took all my courage to be strong for him and not cry infront of him. We had a good talk and i talked him back into being positive again. I know things arnt looking positive or so other family members keep telling me but im NOT GIVING UP. I have fought this long and im not letting him go without a fight even if it kills me. Hope is all i have left now and it seems the only thing that is keeping me going. I hate what this cancer is doing to him and get so angry, mostly with the wrong people and i dont want to push my husband away who is so supportive but i just cant help it. I suppose im not dealing with this as good as i thought i was but im trying my best. I know i can talk to my husband but for some reason i cant seem to do so or anyone else for that  matter (apart from on here) which is so strange as im a very open person. I think its cos i dont want to show them im not as strong as they think, anyways its the scan on thursday so i hope its not long for the results. Had the doctor out to pop as hes in alot of pain so hes on morphine now which is helping thank god. Theres one thing i dont want and thats him to suffer and ill do whatever i can to make sure that doesnt happen. Sorry rant over.

  • Oh Nicola... I do sympathise, especially about the communication with those you love. When both my mother, and then my sister, died I went into a 'cocoon' of misery and kept shutting my husband out... but I don't know WHY? I have a really good and close relationship with my husband but I simply withdrew (It's MY pain... go away!) I know now it was an extremely stupid thing to do but, hey?

    Hope my mistakes will help YOU to make the right decisions.

    Best wishes,

    Thanks Kate this has really helped me understand and that its not just me like this so thankyou. Like you me and my husband normaly are very close, hes not just my husband but my best friend. One minute im talking to him the next im screaming and shouting YOU JUST DONT UNDERSTAND and then its always him who says im sorry when it should be me. Im a very lucky woman to have him so im going to take your advice on board and consider him and my 3yr old little girl alot more after all i dont know where i would be without them.

    thankyou again
