Cancer as a carer

I'm down today. My husband has terminal cancer, prostate which has spread to most of his bones. It's been going on for 2 years now and it's been a massive rollercoaster. Treatment of radiotherapy and chemo helped and over the last year we've enjoyed some good times. Now he's back on chemo as the cancer is active again. 

Chemo is awful. I know it helps and PSA levels are coming down again. He's been in bed all day today, being sick and wobbly on his legs when I help him to the bathroom. I know it's all part of it and he's lucky that he only gets this for a couple of days.....but it affects me alot. I know it's selfish but it makes me realise the horrible truth that he has cancer. Just want to cry

  • Hi  

    You are absolutly not selfish just like everyone here just trying to cope with what is an extrodinarily difficult issue. Somehow we manage to get through day by day.

    I manage to adapt to crying by working out is was just the love overflowing from my eyes.

  • Thanks, that's a good way to look at it. It's just hard sometimes, I'm usually strong but today I just feel lonely and fed up with illness
