First of all, my heart goes out to all of you who are on this cancer journey. My husband's journey started 2 years ago when I was 4 months pregnant with our 3rd child. He's had chemotherapy, surgeries, and he's just had major surgery on his liver. I'm very grateful he could have this surgery and chemotherapy during a time when covid stopped so many others cancer health care. I'm a positive person and very grateful for all that we have. I just sometimes feel overwhelmed by the emotional impact of this journey. Considering my role as a mother of 3 young children enough work in itself, I've now got a husband to care for. I know I just need to do what I can and being in survival mode for years isn't what I expected or wanted, but I know somehow I can become stronger from this experience.
My greatest need right now is to just have hugs, even if virtual, from people who understand what this journey is like. It's long, it's tiring, it's draining. My friends are kind and helpful but they don't have the understanding I know others in my situation have. Sending you all a virtual hug in return.
