My partner is doing well, treatment has gone well and off on the downward slope... just feel worn out, feel guilty for feeling worn out as its my partner who has fought so hard! Looking back at the journey and now on to the next stage. Just typing away not sure what else to say... just one of those days!
Feel... low, done in but then next day I feel good.
Anyone else get these feeling?
Absolutely. Some days you feel positive and think things are going well then other days it all just seems so bleak. I am caring for my wife who has a terminal diagnosis and I am hyper aware of any changes in her demeanour - if she looks reasonably comfortable then all is good. Any twinge, gasp or sigh from her and my heart sinks again. The whole situation is just awful

I completely understand the heart sink moment, it really is a very hard situation. Thank you for your message. You're doing amazing!
totally - for me, its not day by day but hour by hour to be honest. For us everything has happened so fast and we've gone straight from CT scan, to appt to say its stage 4 and then first chemo in a month. I like to think i'm pretty tough but have never cried so much. I'm feeling a little better right now because my husband's chemo was too toxic and he was sooooooo poorly from it and now he's in hospital on IV fluids etc so i know he's in the best place right now, but everything seems such an effort for me - mental exhaustion due to stress and i'm sure you are the same. I hope you are having a good day today. Sending love and light.
I totally relate to how you’re feeling. I’m currently on the sofa under a blanket as I’m really just so weary. I’m the main carer for my husband’s best friend. His friend moved in with us five weeks ago and we are both trying so hard to do the right thing, whatever it is, as it changes daily! My husband is great, he just doesn’t like the more intimate side of things regarding his friend’s care.
the one thing I’m learning is to grab any time for myself that I can and my husband does the same. Even if it’s just for a coffee or a bit of rubbish tv, it charges the batteries a little.
Although I’m new to the community I am a good listener and here for anyone.
Always good to grab some me time can totally relate to this, stay strong thank you for your message.
