Where do all you wonderful carers find the mental strength to do all you do. I'm so out of my depth its unbelievable. I don't seem to be able to get it right whether I'm letting my husband do his own thing or not. My head is exploding, I'm so angry all the time and so frustrated. In a matter of weeks my strong, kind, caring, wonderful husband has been diminished by this awful disease and I dont know how to handle it.
Oh Jude. I’m sorry to hear this. I was re-reading this thread to remind myself that this isn’t just my life... and found that you’re already experiencing what will be my future reality fairly soon. Sending you my warmest wishes. If you ever need to vent please message me. xx
Hlta, I'm so sorry - for you and others on this thread. It's my daughter who has this horrible disease. Eight chemo cycles and two surgeries behind us, radio and fourteen more chemos to come when she's fully recovered from the latest op. It's heartbreaking to see your child suffer and not be able to take the pain away. I have very low times when I just feel beyond devastated - there are no words, but I know people here will understand. But somehow, you get up every morning and carry on.
Sending love, strength and hugs xxx
PS ... Hlta, your user name caught my eye - assuming it's your job, it's mine too.
