I feel so guilty

Less than one minute read time.

I am having terrible trouble eating at the moment as I feel so guilty that I can  eat and Tom can't. I know I must as I do not want to make myself ill.Tom is having a real struggle at the moment getting any food at all down ,even things like mashed potato with loads of butter and milk will not go down.He has never moaned once since the day he was diagnosed but for the first time today he said he was fed up not being able to eat.It is so so hard watching the person you love deperately trying any food he thinks might go down only to see it come back up even after as little as a mouthful.He had a scan last week to see how the tumour is and we are supposed to see the consultant again on June 23rd but I think I will have to ring the hospital tomorrow as this not eating cannot go on until then,hopefully they will be able to suggest some other treatment to get him eating again.

    I have managed to eat half a bread roll today ,but only because Tom was able to eat half a weetabix this morning and a few mouthfuls of soup at lunchtime it's not a lot but at least he has eaten something,going to try a slow cooked veg casserole tonight hope he will manage some.

    Dear Marianne - you know that I understand completely - or as completely as it is possible for one human being to understand another's situation.

    We had to stop eating together months ago - it was too stressful for us both.  

    I have everything so tightly crossed for you both.   I am so sorry that I only found your blog today.
