Hi billy11,
Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the online community. My name is Fiona and I’m one of the Macmillan cancer information nurses.
We’re sorry to read about your husband’s bladder cancer and the impact this is having on your relationship.
Cancer can cause many different emotions and these can be difficult to cope with. There is help available for your husband, if he would accept that.
It’s important that you also look after yourself whilst supporting him. When someone you care about has cancer it’s normal to experience many different feelings. This information may help you find ways to cope with these feelings.
You may find it helpful to call the Support Line and speak to someone about how you are feeling. We are here every day from 8am to 8pm on 0808 808 0000.
Often talking to others going through a similar experience can be helpful to do. There is nothing quite like the support that you can get from others who know what it’s like. We have a great online group that you can join.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to get back in touch if you want more information or support.
Best wishes,
Fiona P,
Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
You can also speak with the Macmillan Support Line team of experts. Phone free on 0808 808 0000 (7 days a week, 8am-8pm) or send us an email.
