Hi everyone, just after some advice. My partner is suffering from stage 2 cervical cancer.she is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
To cut to the chase.... She has never got on with my family. She has very bad mood swings as a result of her illness and this has recently come to a head with her focussing all her negativity on my mother they have had loads of bad arguments in the past and as a result have nothing to do with each other.
The problem now is she is now demanding I cut my mother out of my life completely and have no contact whatsoever so she will move out of the house and leave me for good.
Much as I love my partner and am trying to support her with her cancer, this is putting me in an impossible situation. She had said it's her or my mum and I have to choose
Hi Honest guy 71 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your partner has been diagnosed with cervical cancer and that you're going through what sounds like a very difficult time at the moment.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so can I recommend that you also join and post in the carers only group, as you'll then connect directly with others who may have been in a similar situation.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your partner's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
