My hubby (35) was diagnosed in July last year with osteosarcoma of the left distal femur. He had surgery in September and all the tumour was removed with clean margins. Since then his had lung mets which effected his chemo. Then mets on spine and hip. Then to top it the poor sod had a full blown seizure on Saturday and they reckon he has brain mets now We have 2 kids (3 and 6) and I’m struggling to cope now, with caring for hubby, paperwork, looking after the boys I feel so drained, afraid and scared and this covid is not helping! As no one can help me xx

Hi and a warm welcome to Carers. I can hear your tiredness in your words and normally I would suggest asking for a carers assessment but they've been put on hold during lockdown. It might be best to contact PALS in the hospital where your husband is being treated as they will know what help is available; please do call them, with 2 young children you need all the help you can get. If the paperwork you have to do is a part of your husband's treatment and support, you could call the helpline on 0800 808 0000 from 8am-8pm and they will be able to help. Please let me know how you get on.

Love and hugs,

LoobyLou
