My husband who is only 55 has terminal cancer, lung metasteses from head and neck cancer . He says he has always excepted his fate and even before they sad it had spread he said he accepted/expected it would become terminal so was prepared when we were told. He managed to continue with normal activities until a couple of weeks ago then things changed. He has more symptoms fatigued and short of breath on climbing stairs etc. He has also taken to his bed and I feel is pushing me away, he doesn’t really like me close to him He tells me to go upstairs to bed despite me having a z bed set up next to his downstairs, we need to sort his affairs eg bank, I need passwords etc but he is reluctant he gets irritated and says he is too tired and to do another day. He lies on the bed 24 hours doesn’t want to sit in the garden, go out in the car. It all seems to have escalated since the palliative consultant called him unfortunately it was the only time I had popped out, he told me she said he had days to weeks to live, I questioned him as thought strange to say. He then said she said he had a shorter rather than linger time to live and he interpreted it as days to weeks. I am getting very isolated, tearful and lonely not feeling like a wife anymore, has anyone experienced there loved one change drastically and become distant Thanks
