Hi everyone, 

I have posted before but couldn’t find my post. My husband finished his 6 week chemoradio for hpv tonsil cancer on 19th September. Throughout his treatment he was so so poorly and we nearly lost him at one point when he got sepsis. He’s doing really well with his recovery and getting stronger. He’s still off work and he will have a scan on Dec and we pray the treatment was scuccessful. We’ve got two neurodivergent children who have struggled through the last few months. I’ve gone back to work and things have gone back to normal in some ways but I feel absolutely broken. I’m so overwhelmed with everything at work, I’m a manager and I feel like it’s too much, im struggling just dealing with everyday tasks. I’ve no patience and I’m tired all the time. I’ve put loads of weight on so feel awful and I feel like I’m a completely different person. Any other carers completely lost themselves in this process?
