I am 3 plus years on from losing my own husband to oesophageal cancer. I have ploughed on keeping very busy with friends, my own interests and projects, despite the lack an any family support. And despite my own back injury.
i now have a perfect storm. I have had two cancer diagnoses, both treated, however one had recurred in a not very promising way.
I have never felt so alone. My only sister has just not been around for me in any way over the past three years and this recent diagnosis has not changed that. I have badly irritated my old back injury and I am
in a lot of pain and incapacitated, so it is very hard to to distract my brain. This time I really do think what is the point of it all? I feel VERY alone.
