How to manage 2 years possibly more with person who can have things slowed but not cured and who seems to prefer to live as an invalid and have you running here there and everywhere I feel at times I am going insane. And the guilt for the feelings you have is always with you. To make a choice to prolong means you have to make an effort to get on with it. Need to get this off my chest and hope that this is a place you can just sometimes let off steam sorry.
Hi Lovestosing
Anytime you want come here and say what is on your mind - we understand because we have seen this to. We even have a special page The Room - write your story and do not forget to slam the door on the way out.
One of the things I had to learn as a carer was how to look after me - eventually I found a living with less stress course that really helped. If we look at your feelings when someone has cancer then we see guilt is fairly common.
Do post whenever, someone is always listening and we do understand so no need for a sorry on here.
<<hugs>>
