Sorry (Not Sorry) .....

Hi Everyone....

Today is My 1st Day Here. And here I am tears streaming from my eyes ...lump in my throat, reading through the posts ... Sad ..guilty for feeling sad ...can relate to alot, and it made me think I'm not alone ..how I feel sometimes is actually how alot of  us (carers) feel whoop. I'm normal...

My partner of 5 years was diagnosed with thyroid cancer January 2024 after misdiagnosis and a load of other drama (il save that for another post) he ending up having both thyroids removed he had radio iodine treatment and fingers crossed all is well.

Half of me doesn't feel like I can feel like that I should always be aware that something could be wrong and it's spread bug the other half is telling my self being positive it's done the only way is up I say trying to use that fake smile I've learned to do over the last 16 months,

Anyway I was coming on here to rant,, to get sympathy and to hear someone else is just as angry as me, but after reading posts and the answers and writing this post I'm over the rant it's gone. Lifey!

Anyway I am privileged to be here with people going through similar things, people who I don't know being there more then some of my (old) Friends, I know we can all feel that feeling inside so hes to you all ... No here's to us, coz I'm one of you

Thankyou

  • Hi BeeEmmaBee welcome to the forum.and sorry that you have not had a response as yet.. I'm so glad reading others posts has helped and reassured you that you are not alone. This journey you and your partner are on was not one of either of your choosing,  but on the journey you must go. These kind of things creep up on us, one minute we are partners, then we became carers then we can lose ourselves and who we are, so again you are not alone.. Carers across the forum will tell you "we are all in this together" .  Sending very best wishes your way for now and please do keep in touch and let us know how it is all going. Gailx
