Husband diagnosed stage 4 advanced cancer 6 months ago with a prognosis of 6 months plus a few more. Since then I've run myself ragged doing literally everything and caring 24/7.

Chemo now complete and his energy levels are low so spending most of the day in bed. I've suggested so often that a short walk would help with the fatigue which has been met with reluctance. Everything I suggest is stonewalled with a frosty stare.

I'm tired, lonely, want my life back in some form to give me a reason to smile. Cancer is a really crap date and a huge third wheel. Does it ever get easier?

every night I cry from unknown truth of what future may unfold.
I am reaching to an unbearable stage.

I'm the same, I feel so sad when I look at pics of my little pekingese, we only had her just over a year, she was an ex breeding girl, we spent a lot of money on her and had dental work done for her as her teeth were appalling, we got her spayed too, she was an amazing little dog, the breeder said he will keep her forever now so we are pleased she won't go anywhere else. Cancer does take so much from us, it's so unfair. I hope Perry will have a lovely home where he will be spoilt, will the rescue centre let you know where he goes and give you the opportunity to keep in touch with his new owners?
