you know who's there and who's not when you need them the most x

1 minute read time.

my family and a few friends have been very supportive since september last year,theres been a few ppl who havnt been the best support and i feel that ive lost some of the best support i could possibly have,the only one true person who i thought i could rely on,he never really understood the "ins" and "outs" of what was really going on,started to say ive become boring...a shadow of myself....down and gloomy...what the hell am i meant to do ...get the party poppers out and balloons and shout yippeeee!!!,ive realised that before i can become strong and be positive about this i need to come to terms with it first...has anyone lost the person you loved through this????              

wednesday 9th feb: im feeling a little bit better now ive got used to this site been chatting to a few ppl and i feel i little bit more positive about my forthcoming treatment,...all i need now is the most important person in my life (apart from my children) to wake up and realise whats going on and start supporting me the way he should do instead if changing the subject everytime it arises :( xx

monday 21st feburary: things have somewhat gone a little down since i last blogged,my friends list is slowly going down the pan,as for my partner,well the support there is wearing a little thin,he's there but isnt metaphorically speaking,im not sure what to do anymore i feel that im losing this battle and my main support isnt as supportive anymore.

    hi marie

    bless hun and im going to say this he sounds as if he is frightened of the word cancer maybe you should ask to have a macmillan nurse call round just for a chat with the two of you  they are so great and you must have a chemo nurse you see when you go to the hospital i have one called mal and she is brilliant and cant do enough for me i dont have a partner as such well we dont live together and im lucky because he is always very concerned and gives me lots of support we arent the easiest people to live with i have had to apologise to my man quite often for being a pure nasty bitch for no reason and believe it or not i dont know why i do it but i guess its just the whole cancer diagnosis and the treatment in front that gets to us when all the time you just want to scream your head off!!!

    i do think that probably you have been the strong one in the family who has always organised the house the kids etc and been the solid rock in the family now your partner has to face the fact you arent goin to be able to do that when you are having your treatment and hes so afraid maybe you could just have a chat and need to even have a good cry together sometimes thats all it takes the lack of communication i do hope things work out between you and things get better good luck with your chemo im on no 3 its not pleasant and no one says it is going to be but hopefully your side effects wont be too bad dont read everything you can get your hands on i stopped all that way before i started mine youd go mad if you took it all in just go with the flow and you will be fine hun good luck

    love and hugs jen xxxx

    thankyou jen,i think the trouble with him is he has been used to me being the "gobby" one ...the "outrageous" one......the one who's strong independant very organised solid sort of person and he liked that,it's what attracted me to him,so ive gone from being all that to being less confident moody mardy,basically not me,and he dosnt like that at all,he knows and fully undersands why obviously but he cant get to grip and he has the attitude that it dosnt matter what life throws at ya you should always put that smile on and be happy happy happy....i cant do that,everyday im in constant fear of what will happen when i have chemo and what effects it will have not only on myself but my family too,and because i feel this low he thinks sod this im gone he's such a lively person and he isnt used to this thankyou for your kind words love and hugs marie x x x
