Tired and a little bit scared

So I'm not sure where to start. My husband was diagnosed on 15th October last year,  was thought to be curable but now terminal. He's doing really well, it's only slowly progressing so not requiring any treatment. My husband is very angry and doesn't want to discuss his cancer, situation or prognosis. He swings from being loving to being so angry I'm scared of what he might do. I'm finding it very difficult to cope and am experiencing a lot of anxiety. I feel selfish as I'm, to put it bluntly not dying but my husband doesn't want to acknowledge how this affects me or my 3 children. I have very little support as I can't tell anyone how my husband behaves. Writing it down here makes it just a little bit better.

  • Hi  

    Glad you feel able to share on here, I know sometimes the person with cancer can feel guilty for the worry they cause their loved ones and it can help to talk although sometimes that can be hard especially for men.

    Remember if it helps you are more than welcome to ring the helpline here - 0808 808 00 00 open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm.
