Hi, My husband of nearly 30 years was diagnosed with gbm4 in December 2022. He's had all the treatment he can but has started to decline since Christmas 2023. I'm struggling on how to support him. We seem to have lost each other. He hardly talks to me or our adult children. He is very much in denial of what he has and the future. I've been on this journey too and he doesn't seem to care how it's affecting us all. All our lives revolve around is this horrible cancer. He doesn't seem to think about anything else. To top it off his workplace are getting to the stage where they are thinking he can't manage anymore and his job gives him a purpose that he enjoys. I know they have a business to run but I think they are going to try to encourage him to finish. He's already said that will be the end for him if he finishes. He hasn't got many other interests sadly that he is able to do. He has been there 41 years! This whole journey is horrendous and I hate seeing the man I love decline and change like this. Its breaking my heart
Hi Mrs Magoo
So sorry to read about your husband and the impact this is having on your family too.
As eddiel has mentioned employers should make adjustments and you might find it helpful to ring the helpline to talk to one of experts in our work support service
<<hugs>>
Steve.
