Recently diagnosed Stage 4 Breast cancer , lobular, ductal & now triple negative in lymph node& numerous suspicious nodules in my lungs. Consultant recommends immediate chemo & immunotherapy.
Stupid thing is I feel fine & have been adopting the ' business as usual' status. I asked the consultant that if I didn't start treatment what the prognosis would be - deterioration within 3-6 months - so its a no brainer really. Thing is I'm starting to crumble. My husband has prostate cancer which due to an increasing PSA has been told the cancer is "active in his body somewhere". He is disabled & not very mobile so with my news he is now not coping. Angry frustrated & drinking. No longer making meals as he used to as I did the rest of the household chores & he's resentful & scared too. I'm supporting my brother who has stage 4 renal cancer & my daughter has her own family health issues.
I am finding it so difficult to navigate my own news & their needs too. I'm not a confrontational person more of a peace keeper but I'm just losing my way in all of this. I want to do so much but am held back looking after others & time is running out . I just need to share this because its overwhelming me. I'm not sure if this is the right place ..
