Joined this forum in desperation. My lifetime partner is like another person. Before we even knew it was cancer he did things and behaved in ways i’d never have thought possible. I will do anything for him and I care for him 24/7 and wouldn’t wish to do anything else. I cope with all the unpleasant things but it’s the knowing deliberate mean words that are breaking me. I know this is about him not me but I just can’t bear that our lifetime together will end like this. It’s as if all love from him has gone where I’m concerned. I genuinely have no support although we do have adult children. I will stay strong for him but this is a nightmare.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
